A couple points:
1. I find it hard to believe that the negotiating committee, which is primarily made up of junior people, would give away any more large RJs.
2. If they are trading something for capping 50 seat flying, that is stupid- the amount of 50 seaters are echos of scope screw-up's past and are marginalizing themselves on their own due to being so over bought by mgmt. A lesson should be learned in that mgmt has to be protected from itself- we are the long term players at this carrier, not them.
