Exactly! Like I mentioned before, I'm not a big fan of the CR7/9 becuase they fly routes that should be flown by mainline for less pay. The CR7/9 might be a nice plane to fly from the pilot's perspective, but personally I don't want to be stuck in that thing as a Pax for 3+ hrs. We shouldn't be flying JFK-AUS or LGA-MSY in a freakin CR7 or CR9. But I guess cessna157 gets all excited for flying a shiny new CR9 for $22/hr.

SkyWest flies the CR9 from SLC-YYZ, CMH, PIT, CLE, etc, all routes that were previously flown my MD-90s. I just saw that SkyWest will be replacing the early MD-90 CVG-SLC flight starting in April. That's not right, but I guess that is what this indutsty is coming too.
