Sounds like most guys would rather talk about underboob.
Hey, underboob is good, my wife likes those juvenile acts

It is apparent when they stated they wanted to get out of the RJ business, they meant owning them, not flying them

As I have said, most of the RJ flying terminates by 2020, and Pinnacle's new contract in 2022. Go look on the 10K. The number of RJ's gets paired down quite quickly in the latter half of the decade. To solve the issue, we just need to hold firm at a min, with a commitment from the company to not write new agreements, or modify or extend the existing ones. That alone solves the issue. These current RJ's are going to be obsolete when the new gen stuff like the C-Series arrives. The CASM on these RJ's will kill em.
