The issue is that we are supposedly in "scope recovery" and supposedly whittling down the amount of RJs- hopefully more in C2015. Now 9E has in their ALPA pilot contract a guaranteed not insignificant amount of DL jumbo RJs for 7 years. That is a very bad thing.
I've looked and have not been able to find that guarantee (unfortunately).
I agree, the precedent is not good.
Hopefully we are in a "scope recovery" mode and will whittle it down more/improve the ratio in contract 2015. 7 years is a long time. We'll have to see what happens.....
I think we both want to get to the same place, I just don't think I see as many bogeymen between where we are and want to be as you do!
