Except.... if you guys allow us to reduce DCI 450 to $39.99.... I mean 395, as in a max of 395 jets, but you let those be all premium cabin mobile profitability center jumbo RJs, then we'll buy you EMB-190s.
That's a win win win. Remember from 2012? Fewer DCI jets. Fewer CR2s. More profitable upgauging jumbo RJs which means more profit sharing for us. You and I Gloop get our new Captain's seats (nevermind that you and I can hold M88A and 717A now).
It's a win win win for us, no brainer. Also, we keep them from doing what they wanted to do which was buy 500 Dash 8-400Qs. They were asking for an exemption and we said no.
So 70 more CRJ-900s, total 395 jumbo RJs, no CR2s, more profit, new E190s for mainline. And you and I can be Captains and as we taxi out to the runway and I realize you're behind me, I'm going to call tower using your call sign and tell them we're ready to go.
