The domestic market is being taken over by LCCs since they have a lower cost structure than the legacy carriers. LCCs do the same thing as regional carriers (fly domestically at a lower cost than legacy carriers) but they do it while surviving on their own. They dont need a Fee-For-Departure contract to fly in/out of JFK, they just do it. Here is the gap-filler for AMR between the CRJ700 and 737.
Actually LCCs do far more than regionals.. I would be very worried if I were EGL. As to the last sentence, I am sure APA will be checking wether this violates our agreement. Sounds like you are happy. Enjoy!
