Yes Hedley but they aren't disappearing immediately. The numbers will certainly reduce at some carriers but the 50 seater has at least 4-5 left to go.

Customers can complain all they want but price is the governing factor in 99% of purchases.

In 4-5 years, the 50 seaters retire, then what? What do you think will happen?

I don’t think that they’re going away overnight, but I’d agree that the 50 seat fleet will reduced in the next couple of years and gone within 5. That’s not a very bright future for people seeking employment with a 50 seat only airline. Since United has been clear that they don’t want to add a new SNB, they will have to determine how they want to shuffle the remaining UAX and UAL aircraft to support the markets that they plan to keep. United has 94 max aircraft hitting the line by the end of 2023. There are also 100 max 10, plus 50 A321XLR’s that will replace the 757 fleet. They seem to be putting larger aircraft in place to handle the lift.

So scope relief is the only option left? Because how ever you slice it, no new 50 seater is coming. Unless hell freezes over and we all get ATR 42-600s!

Listen to this. This is true.
