???
E145 has 50 seats and the E135 has 37 seats
Huh? What's your point?
In this case, the gap is even smaller, which helps my argument. We only have 3 more seats than an E135. Same goes for the E145 with 50 seats. There's even less reason for CHQ to be flying these routes other than being cheaper.
If your point was to make me look foolish for not knowing the EXACT seat count of the E135/E145, than I guess you succeeded. FOLKS, I STAND CORRECTED!
