Word is that it is the 737 fleet that will be returning. That should be good for a pretty short run.
Lets see....A marginal airline to start buys a bunch of RJ's. They start making some money, and then promptly spend all of it and more on 737's which cause them to lose their shirts. They were almost completely down the tubes well before 9/11, and now they are planning to bring back the cause of their downfall in an attempt to make another go of it. There's nothing wrong with the 737's if that's your market, but clearly it wasn't theirs.
Can anybody see the logic in the U.S. feds financing this scheme?
