BTW Joe, let me ask you this.

The ATR 42-600 and 72-600 are on the way with better performance, upgraded cockpits and better engines and I think like at least 55% fuel savings if not greater between the 72 and CRJ700.

Why don't we see more regionals, i.e. ASA, going for the Q400 and ATR? Seems to be clear DAL will park 50 seaters as their leases come up, why not get in the TP business again and beat the other DCIs to it and secure more flying, especially if oil decides to climb, for the pilot group? Kind of like Colgan is doing in EWR.

Would pilots trade a CRJ-200 for an ATR 42-500 or -600 right now?
