They mention 79 seat scope, i would suggest that is sub-standard industry wide. Only usair has outsourced airframes running at 79 seats. As legacy airlines go, airways is the smallest. Delta maxes at 76 seats and united at 70. If amr pushes 79 it will put more pressure on delta and united to further relax scope. Outsourcing scope may not affect you directly and/or immediately but it will tarnish your brand and diminishes your negotiating clout in the future. Please consider these facts and retain as much scope as possible.
