How is that not a windfall?
You guys are waaaay to worried about us wanting to fly your fancy jets. Most of the people could care less about flying a P.O.S. CRJ200 or it's longer tube big brother P.O.S. CRJ900 out some ghetto base like DTW MSP or JFK.
Put a fence up! I personally don't care about your jets. I'd be happy to go my entire career without having to get into a crappy regional jet. Don't forget; Canadair and Embraer are the major reasons why this industry and profession suck a$$ right now. Without RJs it would be turboprops flown by regionals and Boeings flown by majors. Like it was in the glory day$ of this biz.
I'll take my slow, loud, smelly, duct taped, iced up SAAB any day. I'll gladly fly it or a 1900 until my number comes up to fly a REAL jet made in Everett, WA.
