Would agree that we've been understaffed for sometime on the 737 , not so much on the other aircraft, so I'm glad we are "catching up"..
Don't care about more fuel efficient, performance, greater seating capacity or replacing 767 with 737's. The point is "Flight time ratio". I don't know the limits, but the company can't add time at one and take from the other. You are proud of the accoplishments CAL has made over the last few years and that's good, but the simple fact is without a JCBA it means "Nothing" to the pilot group.
