No, we fly them where UAL & DAL want us to fly them. I understand that they do the analysis to determine the demand, but when it's time to change they do what's necessary. An example is the fact that we are parking 18 EMB’s and replacing them with CR7's & 9's; we closed our EMB base in DEN and some of those routes are now covered my RJ's. Don’t forget that a lot of our SoCal/NoCal routes on the EMB are also flown by the RJ. LAX-SBA, LAX-FAT; SFO-FAT, SFO-SBA, SFO-RNO, SFO-MFD. There are more but I just wanted to name a few. BTW I was KFAT EMB based for almost a year. I’m very familiar with the bird and I’ve never had more fun flying than when I was flying the EMB out of PDX.
