With our new joint venture buddies down south, out west and the worse scope in the industry, maintaining what flying we currently have will exceed what I am expecting (don't confuse this with what I am hoping for).
If you would read your contract comparison, you would know this is certainly NOT the case. We have limits on ALL airplanes, plus very good JV language. FYI, those large RJs with UsAir colors have 86 seats in them & UAL has unlimited 70 seat RJs. That's right, unlimited. Plus the whole WB outsourcing to Air Lingus. That's just a few tidbits.
