Compare the percentage of RJs to mainline aircraft at the big three and Alaska... I know, I know soon that will change. I just don’t see it, the economics of the Regional jet are honestly terrible. Sincerely though, best of luck to you all.
You're proving my point about improving scope. The preponderance of the RJ came about precisely because of poor scope language. Furloughs would've happened no matter what, no amount of scope or scope language would've changed that but it would also have stemmed the explosive growth that the regionals saw during the same time frame.
Thank you for the luck, we're going to need it.
