There is a ton more that that. Do not underestimate their leader. This has become his life's work. LOA2006-10 came to the JPWA in its entirety. What RJDC is looking for is to keep OH and EV out of the intent of that letter. It may have been originally written for only CPZ and Mesaba, but when it came over to the JPWA without changes, it included in essence all DCI carrier. Now this is a gain, and our company signed on to it. We beer not as a union negotiate this away for fear of another lawsuit against national. Let your reps know about this. There is still time to tell our leadership that we want this LOA and its new scope of coverage unchanged. In these time every seat that we can get can be a seat for those that may be furloughed. It is real job protection that needs to be saved, no matter what.

When these come onboard we will have to qual all 88 pilots on the 90.
So, is this really true this time or will it be the 74th time the rumor has surfaced only to eventually see no MD90's come from China?

This one as I heard it came from Tech-OPS. It is a lot farther than rumor stage. We of course could scrap the deal but it is less likely this time.

Has that been officially announced yet? Or is it still just speculation? I heard that they have been purchased, but didn't know if it was officially announced yet.

Not announced and not speculation. That is as far as I can post.

If this turns out to be true... is it coincidental that the 90s became firm right after the 76 seat settlement?

It might be why he agreed to it, but as stated that is besides the point.

Especially if they go 1:1 with MD88's.

I agree. It is beside the point but only to a point.

What if DAL comes and offers 25 757s added to the fleet, are we certain LM wouldn't give up more scope?
