Didn’t say it wouldn’t Be 121, just not codeshare with any legacy. For that matter it might BE Moxy. Nothing to stop a new 121 startup from having multiple aircraft types, both above and below current major scope requirements.

Inc owns a leasing company. Airlines would never need to fly them for Inc to make money.

The crj550 whol fly about a year and fail when the bean counters see it's a failure and customers stop paying premium to flight in an rj longish distance...

Just order the a220 and get it over with.. enough of the 50 seaters.

Time will tell.. I just can't see 50 seat being profitable with pilot acquisition costs more than quadruple, 400%, 10 years ago.

Delta seems to be leading the way with the 220 - that could have been a regional bird - but it's not.
