Come on! It's Michael Boyd!
Same guy a few years ago who was calling the RJs a "revolution" in aviation, and how 1 in 6 jets in the future will be an RJ.
Gas prices go up, RJs start to lose money, and he quickly comes out with a "revised" opinion.
It's Boyd... he makes the calls as he sees the situation.
It's not like he's a saint of aviation. Nothing he ever says is complete surprise... it's all known to us already.
