I agree with you 100% KC. I flew for Eastern Express, United Express and American Eagle before getting on at a mainline airline. With the exception of a very limited number of 146's it was all turbo props flying to cities that couldn't support jet loads. At a weak moment, the mainline pilots opened the door to jets and the rest is history. It is time to get all of the jet flying back, it can't happen overnight as their are multi year agreements, but it can happen. It sickens me to see RJ's occupying all of the gates in LAX terminal 8 that were formerly used by 737's flying to the same destinations (Phoenix, Tucson, Portland etc...). I still don't understand how United couldn't make money with aircraft that were paid for that now sit in the desert.
