You all know how Angle Lake works and you know it all comes down to the cheapest option and to heck with all else, feelings and morale included.
Sorry that last part was not meant to be in my post, but it and you are correct on the last part.
"And more will follow. Just not Alaska." neither the E-190E2 or the A-220 are setting the order books on fire.
Why? Scope. We do not have it but others do and that gives us limited protection... for now.
I am more worried about 787's with Eskimo Joe on the tail that say "Operated by Atlas" on the side.
