The E190 will seat, what? 98? Not much smaller than the 717.
So if the 717 can replace the 88, so can the E190 right? Hopefully the NC recognizes it.
I agree and think as 88 are retired they can easily be replaced with E190.
RA loves small airplanes which brings the yields up, but not the best to compete with other airlines if they have larger aircraft.
Until they place and order to replace 88 with a320/737 this E190 thing is scary if the rates do not at least match the 717.
I also hope the NC see the potential future problems too!
