But I don't think giving up the minimum fleet language from the old PWA was a concession on the part of the company. They can grow the 76 seat fleet now without growing us or growing us a fraction of what the old pwa required.
Hence, that ratio needs to come up.
True, but the BHR prevents mainline from shrinking while regionals grow. Isn't that what happned after 9/11? It prevents huge utilization of the jumbo RJs while parking mainline aircraft. Our old contract didn't provide that.
