All the people saying the 50 seat jet is dead, that is only so because mgmts were able to get the same pilots to agree to fly even larger jets for just small percentages more, so you get 50-100% more seats for a 10% greater cost.
If they can convince regional pilots or RAH for instance to fly 150 seat jets for just a couple more dollars per hour, they will have really found a way to gut wages to the core.

Exactly. $37 an hour for 99 seats........and it's still all Mainlines fault.
