Then they will start parking 50 seaters IF they're unable to staff them. Then they get to keep using their broken race to the bottom mgmt style at the regionals
And
IF they get to a point in the next few yrs where they have staffing problems at the regionals, they'll say "we're keeping all the 70 seaters flying and only parking the 50's, sorry you already agreed to let us fly them so were parking the 50's instead of the 70's- grieve it." And all of a sudden there are no 50 seaters flying around anymore and the smallest plane flying at a regional is a 70 seater.....scary thought, no?
