Well...
I realize the EMB rates are low compared to the historical 100 seat rates...
But where was all this outcry on the current A320 rates... not to mention the "original" A320 rates...??
For instance...
NWA 2003 Year 5 Cpt A320 rate... $200/hr
DAL 2004 Year 5 Cpt B737-700DLX $209/hr
Jblu Year 5 A320 Cpt Composite Rate (81hrs month) $128/hr...
So I don't think the EMB rates are that much of a surprise...
This isn't new ground they're breaking...
Maybe the fact that the company has a sustainable business plan when just about everyone else doesn't should say something about the reality of today's marketplace...
