You keep believing your special and see how far that gets everyone. I can't wait to spend my commute explaining how we're the only airlines with regions flying 100+ planes for half what we could have done it for.
So your answer is to fly 100 to 145 seats at a 25% discount so that we can pretend like we have scope. Still waiting on the 50 to 100 seat plan...Lets do a 50% discount...Then we will have A scale, B scale and C scale...Sounds good to me. Lets propose it. We will use Skywest/Horizon rates for our C scale, Sun Country’s rates for our B scale and our rates for A scale. If you are a C scale crew you get C scale work rules and such......Get er done Mr Delorean
