Please illustrate where in the TA we will achieve significant mainline growth. After reading section 1 a couple of times...the delivery of SNB aircraft only triggers the delivery of 76 seat and parking of 50 seat RJ's. There is nothing that I read that requires growth of the main line fleet. DC9, A320, 757 and 767 have ll been targeted for retirement...this TA has no effect on that. Only the delivery of 88 SNB aircraft gets them to the final block hour ratio and max number of 76 seaters. I'd love to see a net increase of 88 mainline airframes, I'm not seeing it here. If I'm off base, please show me.
