Horrible idea. Not one more pound. Once the more capable aircraft is operating at a sub-contractor it'll be far too easy for them to seek expanded quantity in a future downturn. If the heavier airplane is needed by network to fill a market niche it can be operated by mainline pilots. The regional hunger-games must end.
