Delete the contract portion and your statement is interesting! Let’s leave it at that for the moment.

We should give up a lot to get that, especially because they can easily re-engine a desert full of 50 seaters and L-10's. Or something.

Rumor is they're making a new one with less thrust, a much smaller elevator and double the deck angle in cruise. The numbers are pretty bad but the plan is to have a required crew tracker in the former FE station at all times for gotcha junior assignments thus forcing the entire pilot group down to 12 moveable days off a month which will more than make up for it.
