We should all know that there is a niche for 50 seaters. I just doesn't make sense to park them all... they have their place. Just, 400 of them don't have their place.
I'm not advocating us bailing out the company on absolutely stupid buying practices in the early 2000's, but that's where we're at, and we helped them get there.

I wonder how long till the CRJ700 and E170 is deemed so uneconomical that we need to give some relief on that purchase too and replace 100 aircraft with 100 more 76 seaters?...... but how about we also keep those CRJ700s for the small routes the CRJ200s fed, that way we don't lose the feed.

They over bought for sure. That whole frequency vs size post 9/11 mantra kind of bites when you have all of these jets and they're too small and use up too many gates and space.

I want Section 1 decreased from allowing 85% of category A and C to fly 900sm to 450sm. Actually, 300sm would be better.
I say put the regional back into the term regional airline.
Current allowance for 85% of DCI flights:
Want I would rather see if I couldn't eliminate DCI all together:
See that gap in the middle? It's got mainline operated 76 seaters, 717s, 88s, 319s, 320s, etc written all over it.

What is the difference between Categories A and C? I think it's DCI not owned by Sky West and those that are but not really sure.

Since Delta seems to have money to buy another 70 big RJ’s, can they go for 70 Q-400s? I mean with our current contract, they can trade in CRJs for unlimited Q-400s. Sure they don’t want turbo props, and they don’t want another type. But, as a plan B, they can use Q400s just like CRJ900s on shorter routes. I’m just thinking what the management can do if we voted this TA down. I’m not trying to justify 70 more large RJ giveaway, but I hate Q400s just as much as CR9s or E175s.
