Also the reason why they didn't through 80's on it is because the market might not support it. I wish they would because those gas guzzlers are very inefficient for the loads XJT is getting. We only need like 25-30 people on board to break even which is very easy to do. XJT is going for markets that typically no one else does. Also didn't AMR have to cut service back our of Boston to do the RDU flying we are doing? I heard they dropped the BOS-EWR shuttle so they could put the planes on our routes? I think XJT will do just fine on those routes.
Not sure about the BOS EWR shuttle. However, the BOS STL is being done by S80 and RDU AUS is the S80. So I have heard. Which does make more sense. Thats a long poke for an RJ, at least a 135. The BOS bid I was looking at for May did have some new routes out of RDU. So, thats my 2 cents. At least BOS got the flying.
