You have enough cash to fend off those aforementioned lawsuits? Seems to me like an amateur move to go after the 73's just because you can.
I was saying that's why they are a regional. Because they can't do these things. If they did run under their own flag their wouldn't be the lawsuits and it isn't illegal to downsize a company. They could get away with it. But that was IF they were a major airline on their own. Which they aren't. Which is why I said SKW is not a major because they don't have these options available. They don't have freedom of choice of aircraft. They are scope claused in. If they weren't. The CRJ's would be a bad choice.
