So if the 60 CRJs and 26 Saabs were being flown by mainline there wouldn't be any furloughs when those 82 aircraft are parked in the next 18 months?
CMR had 113 RJs in '08 in the next 18 months they'll be down to something like 44. No furloughs?
I agree that every seat is worthwhile, but I suspect that the parking of so many aircraft would result in furloughs, whether they were flown by mainline or not.
