This stick was partially a loss on the top end of scope. It doesn't take a ton of imagination to see that when you delete the growth opportunity on the big high paying stuff and replace it with lower paying smaller gauge jets (which pay significantly less than similar gauge we already fly) where the trajectory is.

I'm not certain you understand this completely because you are in the seniority band where you would fly left seat on the e jet...great!
