Yep... And these are the routes that RJ's should have been operating since the beginning (not JFK-IAH, EWR-CLT, SLC-LAX)...

1. We are pretty much at the cap for larger RJ's, and are cutting every 50 seater they can as fast as they can legally cut them

2. They are not very profitable, and we are stuck in long term contracts with more than we need.

I think this is a great use of them in the interim....Also it frees up larger gauge equipment on routes that can handle it and takes inventory out of the system in other places to allow for higher prices in a supply/demand curve.
