Those RJs serve mostly smaller cities. Yes, I know, they also fly to bigger ones, but if we parked them all tomorrow we don’t have enough planes or pilots to fly to the cities.
There is a trade off to RJ Express flying. The trade-off is we have 150+ widebody aircraft, partially because that RJ flying feeds smaller cities into the hubs to support it. Its not ALL bad not flying 76 seat and smaller jets in-house.
But we are negotiating a new contract, and your contract is already well below ours and will be even farther behind us and every other major soon.
So vote wisely!
