Know what I mean?
You absolutely do.... Its not AMAZING but its a lot better then what is out there currently. With that you add to it Jetblues rates on an E190 DAL would have a great chance of bettering their rates in the future on E190/CRJ900 aircraft (since right now if they ever came to DAL they are on the same scale). But how to recapture that scope is the question.
I do agree this is not a problem of those whom are currently flying for the regionals (or a majority of them). Most came after the damage was done and were not part of tearing things apart. But it does not help if those whom could assist in getting scope back in check, are not willing to because it might hurt their short term gain.... The inability to LOOK into the long term gain seems to always get ignored....
