Yup. People just blindly listen to the crap that's spewed about everything in this business. They can say they want rid of these things all they want. The fact is they have nothing to replace them with. You cannot operate a 70-90 seat airplane on many of the routes currently served by a 50-seat product. And if you retire the 50 seat jet and pull out of the market that won't support anything bigger, you are leaving money on the table. And there are A LOT of those markets out there. Settle in to your 50-seater, it'll be around for a while.
