Actually, this is spot on. If you are satisfied flying "RJs", you should be fine, and none of this should matter to you. (But the crack pipe must be close if you think you are gonna get anything bigger under a DAL code.) It is really a catch 22. In a crappy economy that anybody with a brain can see isn't going to change anytime soon, you would be crazy to cheer for the demise of your company, all the while having no guarantee that you will obtain anything better if it does. I really don't envy your position. And I am more interested in growing MY company too...

The situation is just as airline managements have designed, we fight amongst ourselves. Best of luck to all.
