Good luck with that...

I wouldn't spend much time arguing with JT8D. Just go back and read all his past quotes and that will sum him up.
Unless your hands are completely clean pointing fingers at others is pretty laughable.

I wish we just keep the dash 8's till they time out and flow.
Looks like however 145s will be temporary until that structure is built then here comes the 175's
