We have at least 190 fifty seaters flying for the next 7 years which is great but we still need to think long term!

Are you serious? 70 and 84 seaters are not the future of the regionals. The future of the 84 seaters is that the mainlines will take them back - because it's either that or their jobs. At the very least, we HOPE they take them back. To hope that we get huge RJ's is totally ignorant of what is best for you in the long-run.
