Comair? ASA? Skywest? Expressjet? Anybody?
So why all the outrage now simply because the airplanes are "too big"?
Well... my outrage is more with hypocrisy than anything else. It just cracks me up to see all these Republic guys saying how they "don't want those airplanes... how they're so sorry, how it's so wrong, etc." Yet, they don't want to step up and actually do something about it, let alone do something that might not benefit them.
I guess what I'm trying to say is - spare us the hypocrisy and just jump for joy or if you're serious - do something about it.
