Which, by the way, looks like we gave them that one anyway in this TA.

Not only can it possibly happen again but we will have already given them even more 76 seaters via this TA.

And please don't fall for the "carrot" of 717's. If it is in management's best interests to get them, they will get them with or without the TA. Have pilots really not learned from decades of history?

Question: is it written in the ta that 717's will be arriving if the TA passes? I truly don't know. But if it isn't, then all we have are "promises." Promises of an agreement "in nature" or however they phrased the press release.

Management's desire to get rid of 50 seaters is leverage.

I also just cannot understand the willingness to make it more profitable for management to outsource our jobs.
