Yet LCAL is 50 and under seats for jets. Let's see if their JCBA can trump ours on scope.
Although I'm against one more DC-9 replacement jet at DCI, if it happens I would at least hope that there is an iron clad sunset clause in a reasonable timeframe to eliminate and park or better yet to transfer all RJ's over 50 seats to mainline.
It would be incredulous for our MEC to allow more than today's 255 DC-9-10 replacement fleet at the labor busting outsource providers and make it permanent.
AA wants 100 seaters at Eagle (86 seats including first class) and if DL caves, especially not in BK with billions rolling in for profits with more projected, that would be bad for UCAL pilots in any effort to fix scope on their end.
