I don't see us falling for it. Not even remotely close.
They will have to find another sucker. There are two major players out there with horrible scope…AS and JB…and/or they could flail around vaporizing investor money in an IndyAir style experiment.
Either way I don't see the scrubs Bedford, Hulas and even Atkin coming even remotely close to cracking the legacy scope lines with their fantasy 100-160 seat "RJ's". That ship has sailed and sunk.
Yes, but as soon as they take delivery of such aircraft, they can no longer operate as a DCI carrier, with the exception of Republic.
The remedy for scope non compliance is the written financial penalties in the contract(which there are none), or in certain circumstances, a merger with SLI.
