I wrote to my rep about scope. I was less than thrilled with the response. He said scope is not for sell. I liked that. Then he went into a long paragraph about how scope is more than just 76 seaters and how JV's are just as important. I believe that JV's are just as important, but my e-mail to him was just about 76 seaters. I feel he was giving me a bait and switch. He did not say that we will not outsource one more 76 seat jet. My rep also said something about using production balances to protect our jobs. The Compass jets fly from MSP to YVR. That's almost a 3 hour international flight. Shuttle America is flying medium sized markets like Chicago-New York, New-York-Washington, DC (DCA), and New York-Boston. Delta is putting out national ads bragging about first class being in these jets. We are not part of any of this. I don't understand why we would even consider allowing more of these jets.
