There are no 70+ seat aircraft operating under Branded operations, except the 190’s. And, the 190’s are driving the Branded side CASM
up. That means there are hurting the Branded side financially. The Branded side would do better without the 190’s and a fleet of only A319’s and 320’s.

So the first part of your post is inaccurate and you completely believe our union when they say “…that it is the highest profit magin in the airline world…”, once again they are raising expectations within our pilot group and I’m afraid we’re all going to be disappointed by the final outcome.

And you truly believe
if we get $55/hr for an FO at RAH, that it would actually have any effect on your ‘desire?’
