I'm very concerned about the comments echoed at all the base meetings that there is no 100 seater currently available they consider profitable.
I'm quite sure they'd order a 100 E195's for CPZ tomorrow given the opportunity
Of course because the CASM would be down a fraction of a percent.
I think that everyone has made it clear to our MEC and to the company, that jet ain't for sale. Can't put it here, find an alternative for the business plan. I too fear that when we are grown, upgrading et al in a few short years they may try to slip that one in for a sizable pay raise. I hope my MEC never ratifies anything that sells one more seat, pound or DCI aircraft in it.
