My gut tells me we fly them for at least 5 more years till we have another 40-50 Airbus' on property, then a move to dump them could/might be executed.

Hmmmm, I think Robin likes them more than our previous ceo. Also they work very well for short northeast frequency operations like most of the ops out of Boston. Also they are spending money putting flyfi on them, doubt that's to scrap them anytime soon. Not saying we'll get more, wish we would but we probably have enough for what we need them for.

The 300 is a little larger than the 190, could be a good growth airframe, especially if the economics of the new engines are superior to the Embraer.
That said, I think the ERJ E2 is the same engine.
