There are X number of passengers out there to be flown by Y number of pilots. The less RJs there are to fly these passengers means they have to fly on something else, and hopefully thats mainline.
In other words, being an RJ pilot is a low paying job that isn't a career. Its a job that our industry needs to eliminate. Eliminating the jets is a key part to that.
The 50 seaters are being replaced by 76 seaters and the pilots are going to be told to fly them for the same pay rate or to take paycuts. I have no idea how you consider that a step in the right direction. At this rate we'll be flying 737s for $30/hour pretty soon.

Try and keep up... a significant portion of those 50 seaters capacity are being replaced by 717s... and redeployed A319s. I've seen a lot of CRW, BMI, DSM, MLI, FAY and various other formerly all RJ cities this year. Some 76 seaters will replace them, but 88 717s is a major portion of that.

The truth is.... these would be sitting in that picture regardless. You allowed the increase in the number of larger RJ's to replace a product already headed to the desert. Seems like your management is the one that truly knows the subject matter.
