Coupled to that a 777 replaces 3-5 landing slots worth of narrow bodies and one gate.... which frees up the narrow bodies to go out and reclaim the RJ flying. We keep launching new Pacific routes too, did you miss the LAX-SIN?

Take a look at SFO-EWR and back. Two years ago when this place was Jeffed up that was all guppies. Now it's 757's and 777's. Same to ORD, BOS, etc. Busses and guppies are free to reclaim RJ flying. I've lost count how many new destinations we've added in the last 8 months... Jax, sav, RDU, sba, chs, eug, mfr, dsm.... it goes on and on. Remember the BS "every guppy that replaces a 757 saves $2m?" line from the previous regime? Yeah when's the last time you heard that?

Take a look around dude, things are good and the future is bright, but the mistakes of the last administration need to be unwound.
