As has been discussed ad nauseam, the 190s are sometimes break-even in branded ops, and per the publicly available information, RAH is looking at wringing the $4MM/copy equity out of the fleet by selling them and canceling the future orders to get the pre-delivery payments back.
I bet you did like the news. It was totally inaccurate. "We are going to strike as soon as 30 days after the strike vote is complete."
