RE: RJs. More 50 seaters is not bad for us because it opens up more smaller markets with less competition and provides more customers. If applied correctly it works out for us and doesn't erode job protections for us as we will never bring a 737 into a market that can only support 100 pax a day.


P.s. sorry for that double post. Not sure how to delete it
Where RJs will hurt us is up-gauging smaller markets where there IS demand and they want to bring in 6 E-175s OR 4 E-190s instead of 2-3 737s. This is what Kirby wants, especially if he can get the C-Series or E-190E2 into SkyWest or Republic's hands instead of ours.
