Ever hear of a Force Mejuere clause? (Pardon the french spelling)
Personally I would rather have more real narrow bodies than SNB's. But I wouldn't trade it for scope. If they were to renegotiate the scope choke to include the number of NB or SNB's, I don't see how we would lose.
I think used buses or guppies are easier to come by right now than new 190's.
The problem with your thinking is that WB flying gets downguaged to NB flying. NB flying gets downguaged to RJs. The flying doesn't really disappear with force majeur, it's just that the company flies those routes with smaller equipment. That smaller equipment can either be mainline or express. I want that smaller equipment to be mainline.
