What is the limits on UAX flying as well as code share limits? The 900sm limit applies to what percentage of UAX flying as well, what is the percentage of hub-hub for UAX? What about the "new narrow body" language and what would that mean?
Off the top of my head:
UAX limits are based on domestic narrow body block hours and a declining ratio based on increase of large RJs. The limit is 120% and if I recall the union roadshow correctly they are currently at 118% (?).
No more than 20% of the UAX flying can be over 900SM. The remaining 80% must be less than this distance (FYI 900SM = 782NM).
UAX hub-to-hub flying is limited to 5% of the block hours. At the TA roadshow, the union said currently UAX is at 4%.
What about the new narrow body language? If the company wants to increase the number of 76-seat airframes above the designated number, they will have to order a new small narrow body aircraft for mainline to fly.
