you must be on drugs. EMB 170/190 have worse economics then the CRJ700/900's and have higher CASM then Frontiers Airbus products. Why do you think the EMB's were the first to go? B6 ended a lot of their options on the 190's and took delivery on only 36 of an initial deal of 50. Their Airbuses are more economical. Between Q400's and Airbus products and Southwest limiting their markets i highly doubt REP will ever see more flying under that banner then you did a year ago. Lets say Frontier turns around and is the position to add a new/or previous aircraft type into the mix... do you think they would rather be like B6 and fly their 190's and get their pilots off furlough or give it to a regional?

The CRJ's for CAL were a success?!?!? you have got to be kidding. You cost CAL millions in missed connections, weight restriction issues, hotel/food vouchers, you still have more mx cancellations on 40 some odd airplanes then XJT does on 205, you refused to get ACARS when CAL asked to improve your performance, and have blamed your cluster of an operation on everyone but your own self to CAL (hardstands, gate agents dont like you, ground crews giving mainline/xjt priority...) You may have made a little money but you did not impress anyone and if thats what you meant by getting your foot in the door... god help us.
