DAL will reduce CRJ200 operations in 2014
Who has the leverage ?
This is a flat out lie, I don't fly the CR2 but on a 2 hr flight you will burning over 3k lbs of gas, that's $1,300+ just on gas and I know this is very conservative. Add to that crew, maintenance, insurance, leases and other cost related including back office folks and these RJs cost thousands of dollars an hr to operate. If endeavor did it for sub 400 an hr these airplanes would make a profit with just the folks sitting on the exit row!!!! Please don't come here spewing garbage.
