Certainly that was worth money for the company to eliminate a loss-leading fleet and replace it with a newer more cost effective fleet.

Somehow our NC was unable to monetize the financial benefit to the company in a way that adds to a contract that was promised as "leading the industry." Because well before the RJ deal that was what TO promised to deliver to the Delta pilots.

The early opener, quick contract and scope relief should have returned some value on top of an industry-leading contract. The TA presented doesn't reflect the added value of industry-leading plus.
