How often is your RJ full...mine maybe 50% of the time...so lets but a 75% full RJ versus a 50% full Airbus..(50% because they have more seats)...which looks more profitable on paper to your share holders. What is going to sell more shares of your company...(not like airlines are selling shares anyways...but if they were)...I would buy the shares of a company that looks good on paper and are filling their seats.

On another note...STATS...now which of the above aircraft will burn less fuel at cruising altitude....Airbus 319,320....DC9...757...CRJ-200. Does anyone have those stats I know that the RJ ranges between 2400-2800 pph. Averaging about 400-500 groundspeed. Plus the crew...of course...cost less.
