Then they got jets; they were limited to 37 seats. Then 44seat jets. Then 50 seats. Then we could get 22 CRJ-700s. Now we can have +25 CRJs. Now we have first class.

This pattern is significant. Their may even been some planes I missed. But I will take you to debate that there is a significant possibility with the Embraer becoming obsolete AE could be on their way to more than 47 CRJs and with the pattern, could get larger jets. Just saying...I don't necessarily want AE to get large EMBs. I want to be a Major Captain someday and would love there to still be Majors in existence when I am ready.
