Well said! Furthermore, if USAirways becomes a predominately RJ driven company they will no doubt be sealing their own coffin since they'll be competing with other companies that offer full size cabin 737's and A320's... IMHO!

Huge RJ Order

Hi Guys & Gals,
I've worked within the USAirways system for the last 13 years. I was at Henson/Piedmont and USAirways (Metrojet). My take on all of this is that USAirways is unintentionally (maybe even intentionally) morphing into it's former self.
What I mean by this is jet-Piedmont/USAir flew(with much success) 68 seat jets in the form of the Fokker F.28. We had a little operation dubbed "The Florida Shuttle" (For the record Henson deHavilland DHC-8's were also used) that did quite well.
My point is that this size aircraft ( 70 seats ) flying within the USAirways system is not unheard of, and can make money.
Take Care All,
M.K.
