This agreement makes that number 450. 111 jets worth of block hours is a significant difference.
It would take until 2020 until that 450 is reached without our consent... DAL pilots could be on their 2nd or 3rd PWA negotiation by that point....
We always try to improve the pay, and we have restricted outsourcing from the JPWA up to now, why wouldn't we tighten the DCI noose 2 or 3 more times also?
I am with you WRT trust of mgt. and their intentions.
Unless you feel they would renew a lease on an unwanted jet then there will be 366 RJs left at the end of 2020 without this TA. Less total and less large ones compared to this TA. If you feel that Delta would rather spend the millions on heavy maintenance of a 50 seater, then your numbers are more appropriate.
