2. When you compare the 145 to the 175 the 145 losses in every category. Distance, Cargo, Seats, pax approval, and maintenance cost, all while having almost an identical breakeven point.
3. (Most Importantly of All) The guy who owns a majority stake in your company has already said TWICE there is no future for 50 seaters and the fleet will be reduced when this is over.

Now in saying all this, I would like to believe that there is a future for XJT and a niche that has to be met with 50 seaters. And 145 trumps the 200. But to say things as dumb as you wont see furloughs or are in a better position then anyone it outlandish. How about worrying about whether you’re getting the Cares Act first and how possible downgrading people might be a disqualification if there is a reduction in pay.
