It's not slander if it's true. See ya, Al...

No I am not. Not even close. Nice attempt at slander though.

The big perk for the Embraer is that (labor aside, of course) you can get similar cost per mile while flying full, as opposed to flying with empty seats. The ability to fly with fewer open seats is what makes all regional jets more attractive in today's environment.

Thanks for the thoughtful answer but I hate that we skip over labor cost so quickly and accept the "full plane" argument.

It may be the routes I'm on but empty seats are a thing of the past, from what I see.

I think it is about eroding wages more than anything.
