Not that more regional jets would be good but no:

So no not entertaining bigger jets off property, just more of current limit.
Besides the negative implication of any more trades, why do the scope deals always involve the smallest mainline? Why not tie any increase of small jet (outsource) flying (76 or less seats) to acquisition of A330 and bigger (74, 380, 76ER, 777,etc)?
