If your current DAL T/A promotes introducing more 76+seaters, have at it. If your advocating that UNITED Pilot's (L-ua/co) allow MORE RJ-feed/size, to that, you'll get a tall glass of "pound sand" from the collective UNITED Pilot Group.
This is the wrong venue for this, but our scope is much much stronger because of the block hour ratios that come with it. The 76s are gone. Forget them and move on. They are not worth fighting for as a mainline product. You MUST control the numbers of them and their utilization. We did that. Now it's your turn. I hope you can return them to mainline, but I challenge you to be honest and do the math on what it would take to bring them back. I promise you that you will find they just are not worth it.
To each his own though.
