You are wrong again WRT reserve flying. 89 hours max for wide body. Not sure about NB anymore.

We flew the 737-500 a few years ago with about 100 seats in it, so giving express 90 seaters (with 76 temporarily installed) is pretty comparable. Didn't NWA fly some "baby 9's" very recently??

Management demands more scope concessions with every new contract. They either want MORE RJ's, or BIGGER RJ's. They ALWAYS get what they want, and ALPA usually claims victory for every scope concession. Next time around they will want to put 90 seats in the CRJ-900's and we'll be told "come on guys...they already have the airplanes. We're not really giving up anything and there offering a 3% raise!!!
