As I said in the other thread, those jobs are the initial accumulator until section 1 language is triggered and DCI is even forced to park 50's or 76 seat jets(their choice)

All "known" fleet replacement plans are part of the ratios, but as I understand it, the 717 IS NOT. The ratios get to the top end compliance with DCI 50's being parked.

George and you have proven how the same block hr plan will get us to 1.59-1 with no mainline block hr growth. The compliance will come quicker due to the tables and contract checkpoints that force 717's to be delivered to get more 76 seat jets,but the end result is not 1.59-1, but 1.76 to one when everything is considered; 717, 50's parked, 76 seat aircraft added, 767's,757's,m88's,dc9's, and 320 retirements.

My math showed a mainline fleet count of about 770 or as you show 647 domestic jets. The math works and gets us to about where we were at SOC, abet on lower paying jets. Again the planned ratio puts us well above 1.59-1(1.76-1) meaning that if the economy goes south not of the triggers to pulldown DCI, nor the non compliance language(my concern) apply, until mainline domestic shrinks by 17 basis points from 1.76-1 to 1.59-1. The new hires brought in below us are the first accumulator. Then depending on what the trigger was(euro zone debt crisis which caused the economy; apply w/ the non compliance language?) DCI can or cannot be shrunk in relation to our capacity restriction.
