Take the improvements in section 1 and limit the 70/76 RJ's to 255 and we've got solid progress in the right direction. That is the first step towards putting the Genie back in the bottle. The current TA is putting her back in, it also put a new hole on the other end of the bottle.
Agreed. I do like some of Section 1. It's the additional 75 jumbo RJs that turns me into a nayer. I don't believe the Yes voter realizes how damaging the 76 seaters are to our career. Yes, getting rid of the 50 seaters is in the right direction, kudos to our NC. But, I just can't fathom getting more of the same poison (if not even more poisonous) that we've been fed to is a good idea as well.
Do you rather have to trust our mgmt/union to comply with the ratio in this TA, or do you rather put a stop to competing RJ (ie 76 seaters, not 50 seaters) growth for once, and go from there?
