On long flights, passengers like First Class seats.
Delta realized FC was not needed on Shuttle.
Why are we outsourcing 3+ hour flights? What's regional about that? Maybe we should rename them Continental Jets, or Western Atlantic Jets.
When they put an HDG on an RJ and a big life raft, what are we going to say?
