Cute, but without a SNB aircraft no additional dual class large RJ's, and we have still locked the ability to get above current Cap with the previous 3:1 ratio mainline threshold. If 717 were not to come another SNB aircraft could fulfill that role, as in the previously studied 319's. We are protected either way.
