Scoop, you are correct. Section1 is about not just small jets but all of our flying. As it stands now we have a ton of holes. Remember the republic holdings mess anyone? Hole. ALK? Hole Virgin Australlia soon to be jv does not need a production balances. Hole. JV with JAL that is revenue sharing and will not need a production balance? Hole. DAL could add 100717"s get the 76 seat jete, then park the 88's or717's and not reducing the 76 seaters? Hole.
Point is section 1 needs a lot of improving. This stuff is a must. Is allowing more large rj's but getting a production balance a concession? Depends on the actual wording of the TA and how and when they can be added. In the end the answer is different for many of us. I will wait to judge the actual product.
Again give input to your reps,now! As Buzz stated go to the PUB events. then make a up down decision on the actual agreement.
I still think this place gets really sporty after this agreement gets signed.
