Anyway, it would give them a chance for more VPs. "...And the new VP of Peanut Saftey is..."
I hope they do raise first year, then we can start talking about everyone else again.
We need to start thinking of better pay rates in the 7/9/175 and let the 200 be.
They could start it easily; they could not succeed easily. RJ's are not economical for point-to-point flying...their primary value is as a supporting component of mainline hub-and-spoke operations.
This is the last thing SGU would want to do; it would be a final act of desperation. In that scenario their best bet would be to start a narrow-body LCC, with limited supporting RJ's. But you're not going to see another auqajet.
