I see how it can be difficult to get other than an RJ out of Memphis, but it can be done. This route was showing 37 other flights available that day, many of them with at least one leg first class. It would be good if they could get in specific writing in the contract that if there is first class availability on another airline, it should be booked first. Obviously going to the cheaper fare on SW or Frontier isn't even an attempt.
