You'll have to forgive me cause I am only a General Practitioner, but its been my take that many on this sub board have agreed with your question on the NG. Silly for me thinking its better for our job security to have a network that can support 3 700 transcons/day instead of 2 on a 57. Certainly the reality that DAL is parking their 57's for 900ER new deliveries should not weigh against the fact that CAL ordered a bunch of POS stretch guppies that will never replace the 57. Btw of the five flights you mentioned, three are nonstop which was what others scoffed at as unlikely in a guppy. Of those in the transcon market we have 1 757 and 2 700's. Guess Fifi isn't quite the end all to be all.
