They want us to clean up their pathetic RJ debacle, and they can't fix any of that? I say whizz off. Choke on your 50 seaters. Choke on your 70 seaters. Hell, you can even choke on your B717s. If I could vote NO more then once for this slap in the face, I would.
This is basically the opinions of the DTW and MSP reps as well. Even if you can get past the moral shame of allowing 70 more large RJ's and strategic blunder of breathing new life into the dying RJ outsourcing experiment, what you can't get past is how little management gave us for this enormous quid. The cost savings to them is absolutely massive. And for that savings, we literally get pennies on the dollar.
