I agree with pandora, Hand Solo is the only one talking sense here.
It's understandable that Citi Express pilots want to fly these bigger aircraft, but as I said before, overall this will only result in the same jobs being less well paid in the long run, and ultimately the very people advocating that they should get the work may be the very ones who end up less well off.
Don't be misled into thinking that paying the pilots less is likely to make any difference as to whether the operation is or is not profitable. On a 100+ seat aircraft, the pilot costs are such a small proportion of total operating costs that the difference between a BACE type pay and mainline pay will be negligable in overall operating terms.
As to whether BAR is or is not profitable, that is up to what the accountants wish to show.
