An aircraft family of planes that can fly over 2000 miles and carry over 100 pax is a mainline aircraft. True, the 175 has only 76 seats in it, it can fly more pax. The new CS that Republic just ordered can seat around 134 pax and can fly over 2500 miles, and Bombardier is calling it a regional jet!!! It is clearly not. This is a direct threat to every MD88, A319, and 737-700 pilots and will influence wages and raises all the way up to the top metal flown.
