Revenue matters.

Let’s not get into the weeds on Airbus and Boeing. Single fleet would give us all better QOL and bases to choose from. “Most” of the guys online don’t care what plane they end up on. Sadly I have heard some mumblings of another smaller airframe. I believe even MEA has alluded to this possibility.
Our big concern regarding fleet is if they get the E2 is that it stays mainline.

seriously, do you think all those FOs they have sitting reserve at Horizon wouldn't vote yes to a contract offer to fly E190E2s at $50 an hour to start? Or that the bottom half of the captains wouldn’t do it for $90?
all they need is a 50.01% of the vote.
So what would that save them over mainline? There’s a REASON other pilot groups have fought so hard for scope.
