Your right. The regional industry would thrive on 50 seaters alone!
I would guess AA is replacing mainline flying with regional flying because their scope allows it. Would you like to relax our scope further to allow Delta to do the same?
Why the big difference? Not sure what the difference is, but from what your saying (assuming it's what's happening), I'd say again it's probably because their scope allows it. Again, why would you argue more 76 seaters is good here?
