There are cities out there that can't be fed by a mainline sized plane. How about IAH to Grand Junction, CO? Just not gonna happen. Instead, cap certain sizes, throw a ratio that favors your mainline, and then get your raise. If not, you will still see larger RJs (SKW, Gojets, Mesa CR7s and Shuttle America E170s) flying through all of your hubs, and still have poor workrules and lower pay. Your choice. You won't get rid of the larger RJs, they will stick around. So cap them and move on.
