Lowecur,
I don't think Republic or MDA set the bar for the E190. The E190 never flew at MDA, and Republic just now has decided to use them for USAir. The Jetblue E190 rates were established first, and they are very low for a 100 seat aircraft. No short term memory loss here for me. The part that made me mad about that deal is the lack of outrage from the current jetblue pilots, since most knew at the time that they wouldn't have to fly those new planes since they were still getting plenty of Airbi. And, any airline can sustain higher gas prices as long as they add money to the fares. Could Neeleman sustain his product without raising fares and higher oil does come along? No.
Bye Bye--General Lee
