When we get to 1.76-1 mainline can then shrink all the way to 1.59-1 before they would even have to consider shrinking DCI.
You mean they could only shrink to a size that is 30-40 airframes GREATER than what we have NOW before they have to begin reducing DCI AGAIN, but from a much lower number (450 vice 598)?
That's some accumulator...one that increases mainline.
Now compare that to where we are today, please, under the current contract. Any requirement to shrink DCI at all?
