Actually the 700 doesn't usually have that problem.

You’re assuming this will work. Do you know much about United/United express?

Your point about revenue is valid, but he was talking about cost; which is now increasing and more distant and uncompetitive from the Mainline.



CASM=COST (per) Available Seat Mile and Kirby just made the demoninator smaller.

It's still a new plane from the factory, with a reduced weight certification.

Also, in the Bombardier press release, it says Delta is a customer as well???

Like a fat American walking on Broad St in Manhattan who cushions the blow of a broker jumping out the window. The end result is still negative.

What did you expect to happen, the 50 seater is still required in slotting restrictions at some airports. They just can't go away.

They are not new aircraft. They will be reconfigured current CRJ 700’s.

Hopefully getting these (for cheap) will open up some production slots for us on the A220.
