That way DCI is down 125 jets! And then capped! Huge win! Right?
Well by your math that would be down 55 jets.
In 2 years and 9 months, I would vote in favor of 70 more "up to 76 seat aircraft" if all the 50's and 70's were subtracted and then counted in the swap. All "76 seat or less" aircraft are whatever the company wanted to operate....
Total- 50's- 70's+??= New DCI cap
450 -125 - 102 +70= 293 DCI airframes.
Another 35% cut in DCI airframes,
1700 less DCI jobs,
and 26% less DCI seats
(minimum, if the company uses a 50/65/69/70 then it will be better)
and a MBH radtio adjustment to reflect an adjusted DCI number.
Drop ALK to 20% and JV up to 50% and you have a deal on Section 1 for me.
Piece by piece.... Let's start the sunset on DCI come 2017-19.
We can have it all..... We just can't have it all
right now.
