*"limited" to 76 seats even though the "ideal" config as per mgmt is 82, but once we have to get them first before we make that change anyway so let's just get them and cross that bridge when we come to it amitire.
You gonna fight for a $50/hour captain seat? I'm not. I doubt you'd get many to go to the mat for that one either. Ridiculous you say? Show me some numbers that would make the 76s competitive with the regional carriers. I'll wait.
We have the payrates for 90 seaters. I WOULD go to the mat for that one, but not the 76s. Not worth the effort.
