You may be right - I've been wrong before.*
Let's revisit this thread every quarter for the next couple of years and see whether B6 can attract the higher yields necessary to make the higher cost E190s work.
Sure, a 100 seater beats RJs hands down - but their increased costs are gonna weigh on B6 very heavily, IMO.
*Except about last year's full year net loss at B6: Nearly a year ago I posted predictions that it would happen. Others scoffed. Turned out I was right.
