I am not sure we can make Management do anything like that. They provide the aircraft we fly them. The ratios and block hours are in this TA. Not perfect but there. DCI is shrinking (think seats and DCI pilots not 50 v76 seat a/c) our block hours at mainline are increasing.... Management can park all 747-400 right now if they wanted (Carl would be my captain on the 737-800 we would be having a blast, I mean that) we cant control that. It is all a gamble i believe.
