Edit, my math was wrong I think it's closer to 8%

Well lets put it this way. If we were going to furlough in to those positions do you really think that they would be hiring?
I would venture to guess that the RJET 175's will go to CPS and RJET will get LCC's 190's. That is my guess, so there you have it.
Now it would be great if we combined the CPS guys to the DAL mainline list. I hope that happens, but in reality they could add the 175's to CPS and keep the weights limited and not need one thing from the union.
The only way the union has a play on this is if management wants those jets to be CERTIFIED to the 89K lbs. They do not even need to fly at them, FWIW. My money is on the fact that they are already certified and are in violation.
I hope that we do not allow them to fly there at the higher weights unless you CPS guys get an actual DAL seniority number. If we do we just sold scope again.

They would not be adding bodies right now if they planned on putting them on the street in a few months. Think about it.
I bet they get some more 175's.

Of course we are talking about Compass Management here. They aren't exactly the best and the brightest, so anything is possible.

I don't understand the relationship between RJETs potential purchase of 190's and the resultant sale of the 175's.

Best thing to happen would be to combine them though and those planes would then be mainline planes and thus could be flown with more than 76 seats.
