A shrinking DCI is good, a shrinking Jumbo RJ outsourcing is imperative.
Percentages are fine, but if we are indeed going to 796 mainline jets vs 450 DCI then we're going to have a ratio of around 1.77ish and the NC and DALPA would've known that during negotiations.
So why then was the block hour ratio (at it's best) set to 1.56 if the business plan already showed better?
Why not 1.75 and if you go lower it's DCI that gets cut, not us? Why was 1.56 so low?
That doesn't require any growth on our part as long as DCI shrinks to DCI 450. That's not a win. 1.75, that's a win, but to get that we're going to have to give up something aren't we?
