I'm assuming that's a rhetorical, but don't forget that when framing such a question, you have to specify "real-world", or "internet-based". On the internet, everyone wants the RJ's brought up to mainline, but no one flies them at $200/hr in a couple of years. In the real world, everyone also want the RJ flying brought in, and besides, they fly the 717 (a larger airplane)
now, without any unfilled bids, at $195/hr.
It's complicated.
