The 110 seater doesn't.
In any case breathing even more life into DCI and giving them even more DC-9-10 sized "RJ's" to perpetually hold over our head by farming out to the lowest bidder would negatively effect the "hundred seater" and serve only to pull down everything else with it, especially in the next down cycle. And there will be a next down cycle.
And it still wouldn't fully protect from some or all of them being used eventually for replacement anyway. Look how insufficient the block hour ration was the last time. No where remotely close to protecting us from downsizing.
I reject the logic loop sophistry of the "Indecent Proposal" argument in its entirety, and I think even entertaining it severely weakens us collectively. Some things just shouldn't be for sale.
