Interesting observation. Not that long ago there was a lot of squawking about RJ's and how our #1 priority should be to capture that flying.
The emphasis of the airline seems to be to grow in the market that is the most profitable - domestic. The RJ fleet is shrinking.
Is capturing RJ flying still relevant?

Unless we find something else to complain about. Carpe diem.
