CAL and DAL/NWA's scope is great but once one person puts something on the market the others have to follow to keep the price wars fair. How do you guys think we got to the 70+ seat jets in the first place? It wasn't because a regional bought them then went to the mainline. Mainlines went to the regionals.
CAL never gave in to the 70 seat jets and they are doing just fine. NWA and DAL is about to Cap off the number of 70+ seaters as soon as the joint contract is signed . So it doesnt have to keep moving in the wrong direction. The mainline guys are getting the point and it hopefully is shifting in the right direction.
