Im not sure why they wasted time on that one, as an ALPA DCIer myself who has been trying to get on forever, 35% is only 17 out of 50 in a class. When you factor in all involved, its not too many per regional per class. I would be willing to bet that the ratio has been higher in the past without this. Seems like a waste of time.

On the 50 seat thing, I think it is GREAT that they will reduce them to 125 I know it comes at a cost of more 76 seat aircraft but the 50 seat jet is so terrible.
(disclaimer, no i do not want to fly more 76 seat aircraft at pinnacle, I simply want less regional aircraft overall)

Having said that I have no dog in this fight but good luck either way.
