DALPA already gave up tons of 90 seaters. The company all along wanted them to be 76 seaters with a first class so DALPA pretended to "limit" them to 76 seats, but they are 90 seaters.
It should be a very high priority in C2012 to sharply and quickly reduce the allowed outsourcing of anything over 50 seats and then phase out all remaining in a reasonable timeframe.
Its hard enough to win customers and marketshare as it is. In a protracted stagflation malaise economy (which our own CEO is very concerned about and specifically mentioned recently) we as a pilot group can not afford to outsource hundreds of DC-9-10 replacement jets to off list ACMI operators without getting spanked hard as a group when things get tough.
