It's a good plane to replace the 767. I think we need the 350 or 77x too.
We need 99-120 seat planes too.
The most important thing is more planes that make money for mainline. I don't care if it is a crappy guppy or crappy fifi. What we all should care about is these things that are all priority number one.
1. Does it make money? This is key!
2. Is is mainline? If not it doesn't help as much.
3. Do i have a contract that affords me the most pay for the best quality of life? Just as critical to be in parallel with the two above.
