"all turbojet flying above 50 seats"? The majority supports "all flying above 50 seats". Huge difference.
Which is less likely to be acceptable to the pilot group? A contract without any payraises or a contract without taking back any scope?
I hope it all happens and you guys get a 20+% payraise while taking all flying above 50 seats, but that AAint happenin. Turboprop flying will be gone forever. AA labor groups arent willing to take the massive paycuts to make it financially feasible to operate these a/c against the regional turboprop carriers. There is a small chance for regaining 70 seat flying in my opinion, but it would still take a huge C-scale type contract.
