So 82 is reasonable but 300 isn't? BTW, 82 is really a 100 seater (E190) with first class and EC sections). SO they really put 100 seaters "on the table."

So why not 120? 150? 199? All are unreasonable examples its only a matter of degree. But all are trash offers designed to see if we are dumb enough to kick things off by negotiating with ourselves. We can play that same game with them too by the way, so they hold no advantage.
