Am I missing something?
Scope was targeted in all bankruptcies, American adding the largest number of seats in this last one. Only Delta taking some of it back with the 717. Just saying, hard times could come again as it always does in this industry and if your only filling half the seats on that Airbus why not just put a CRJ on that route. I hope there is a nice long stretch of prosperity. But with the government still printing money and the further deteriorating middle class don't count on it.
