Expect the 747 to retire as the 350 comes on line. I sure hope not but that is what I would expect.

The C series is a win-win on mainline property. RJ guys get hired at mainline, most likely start on that aircraft, quick upgrade if wanted, good protection for more senior FOs, option to bid captain if wanted (most likely a pay cut depending on which right seat at longevity) but QOL for living in base might be worth it. I hope we get them if that is the aircraft that will make us money and bring flying back to mainline.
