Can we talk about the practicality of these things in the US market?

Who’s going to buy and operate them? The regionals who are dying a slow death who’ve spent all their resources transitioning from the CRJ to the ERJ?

The legacies are investing in electric powered lifts to get people to the airport. They already support the regional lift. Now they’d be adding a third totally different type of fleet that would require new sims, training programs, and mx certifications.

Are they going to ask Uncle Joe (or whoever’s next) to print more money to pay for all this?
