ding ding ding ding, we have a winner. While both sides bicker over Flight-line/ SmartPref, our side is putting rates in place that will all but guarantee any new A/C come on the ERJ side. It's like a voluntary race to the bottom. We continue to fight with each other, management takes advantage and negotiates a "cost competitive" rate for larger A/C on the ERJ side. I would venture to say the best thing the joint group can do at this point (being WE WILL NEVER ALL AGREE ON A PBS) is to flip a coin (heads SmartPref, tails Flightline) and move forward................ I say that in jest but in reality I don't see both groups ever coming together on one system.
