The CRJ200’s are flying trash cans pulled directly out of the junkyard with expired but “approved” turbine engines. You’re correct I flew them, passengers HATE them, yet they still book the flight. Why is that? Because it fits the time for their commute. Originally Posted by Hedley

The 50 seater’s day is rapidly coming to an end. American, Delta, and United will compete against the ULCC’s with 737’s and 320’s with similar schedules. The industry is changing again. Some will like it, some will not.
I’m not arguing against the death of the 50 seaters, I’m arguing against keeping the 70-76 seat locked up. Nobody’s arguing 1-1.
