Wouldn't be surprised...what other "amenities" would they seriously slash because domestic is like MetroJet now.

You mean take your least efficient, oldest aircraft and put them on routes with far lower yields, using them only in markets where they're head-to-head with Southwest?
Something tells me this is not part of the plan.
You mean like the fuel guzzling RJ's!!??

I don't know, what is the CASM of a 737-200 compared to a regional jet. The crew would certainly cost more on the 737.

The 737-200 was a regional jet in it's day.
Bless it's little heart. It was a work horse though. But it had the worst yaw of any aircraft I've ever worked.
If you weren't inclined to motion sickness, you would be in the back of that bird. It felt like it was swimming back and forth the whole time in flight. And the engine noise was awful in the back until they put hush kits on them. Remember R2D2??
I don't know if they were fuel efficient or not( more than likely not )but they were not as sophisticated an aircraft as we are using today. Such as the E190.
Nice memory though. Great trips and great crews.

That aft galley was huge and great to work if you could stand the noise!

Rosie, or was it Tammy Faye with the graffiti?
I’m pretty sure the noise on that aircraft is the reason for some of my hearing loss, but I’m not sure if the OP’s intent was to bring back -200s.

I wonder what the 732's CASM would be vs. a CRJ100/200 or a ERJ145. Does anyone know?
I think it was pretty much the same airplane.... there were only about four of them????
I miss R2D2 and Tammy FAye... ...... not!!! 😛h34r:

Couldn't the same be said about the F-28 too? How did it's CASM compare to a 737-200 or a CRJ-200?
Hey usacew3 how are doing man? You look great! We miss you here in Philly. I know you were in Glasgow on a 4 day recently with a close friend! I hope all is well with you and we hope you take some time to visit us up here!!!!!!
