larger aircraft might be in order if the mines Hang onto the social distancing limits for a while.
cheap A320’s that can move 120 pax each way would be the best bet.
Anyone who thinks the 717 is expanding or even staying at its current levels is dreaming.
F100’s are dirt cheap and the Alliance examples would have to be close to the best looked after in the world. They also have the world’s largest pool of spares.
They aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Alliance is very good at what they do and that is run the things on the smell of an oily rag at a reliability that a 717 or Network could only dream about!
