Perhaps, but keep in mind AWAC mirrors a lot of our routes with their 50 seaters. They even do PHL-ABE..about a 15 min flight, something like 48nm straight line. We could use the 10 extra seats on our flights in the north to places like ERI or SYR. High load factor on several routes where all we have is the -102 operating with 35 or so seats.
