And for the love of god would some one please justify the fact that a 76 seat Emb is any more mainline than a crj/700/900. Besides that if they are mainline airplane the mainline pilots should of fought to keep them! Frankly I would have rather seen that right along with 50 seaters. Dash 8/200's / Saab 320's or smaller for the regional carriers. Hell bring the shorts back! Someone screwed this business up long before you or I got here so lighten up with the personal slams.
i agree why is it that the 170 is considered a mainline airplane while the crj7 isnt? the same goes for the 175 and the crj9. i guess cause its a low wing airplane and looks like a mini 737 or airbus people think its more mainline than one of those "mini jets" that weren't good enough for mainline pilots a decade ago
