In exchange for reducing DCI from 450 to 387 airplanes because we finally get rid of all of the CR2s, we increase the 76-seaters by 63 airplanes yes, but no more ever. And we increase seating to 82.
It's neutral ASM growth. So as far as we we're all concerned, it's nothing different with DCI but we get pay raises, 773s, and we don't have to fight for a contract.
Here goes...
777's are international seats, and wouldn't have the impact of replacing DCI flying.
You gotta get the airframes in domestic flying to replace the DCI...Add 88 more 717/319/CS's.
(88 seems to be a magic and beautiful number don't you think?)
102 x 70 seats = 7140 seats
125 x 50 seats = 6250 seats
13,390 seats 227 airframes currently in those groups.
DAL wants to swap again? Awesome.
88 more SNB's, 227 RJ's ratioed out to increase 76's by another 77.
77 x 76 seats = 5852 seats. (decrease of 7,538 seats).
New DCI hull limit decreased from 450 to 300, whatever they want 76 seats and below. (hell give 'em 79, it'd be 900 system seats, decrease in DCI ASM's is still huge)
DCI percentage allowable changes to the DAL "planned" 64/36 presently, after swap 75/25 domestic block hour ratio.
1) No GTF's or "next-gen" powerplants allowed at DCI on anything above 30 seats.
2) ALK decreases to 20% max... on ALL routes
3) JV protection increases to 50% of EASK's, 50% of block hours, or 50% of segments, whichever is GREATEST
4) Whatever ACL thinks is necessary for foreign ownership protections.
5) Future DCI contracts only allowed to go to ALPA represented pilot groups, and also have flow-down provision.
6) newK anoints: himself to whatever title he wants, ftb 88 Fleet Captain, Shiz 88 Chief Line Check Airman, Ferd Pres. of FA hiring, jesse is Ferd's VP
7)DCI restricted to less than 7.5% over 900 miles, 3% hub to hub.
