Voting no somehow would have kept Jeffy and crew from buying 737 900's to replace 757 200's? maybe voting no would have increased the severely limited performance capabilities of the 737-9? Possibly voting no would have kept costs down as we trudged on without a contract and the minimal LCAL contract soldiered on and replaced all of the LUAL guys? What the HE!! are you getting at here? There are so many divergences from reality it would take weeks just try and break it down..
Sorry Hoss, I have to ask what 900's have you been flying that are so SEVERELY LIMITED? The one I fly, I'm sure doesn't climb like the 75 and has much higher REF speeds. But, as far as revenue (which I believe is all they or US should care about) I've NEVER been restricted!! Sure it can't go into SNA and you will get to FL370 5 min. before me. However, you need to ask the question, which one makes more money? You may say 757 but I took one of our planes over to one of the MX shops that are doing the window heat mods and he said the 75's that he's worked on the UAL side are being sent to bone yard because it's to costly to bring them up to speed. It will cost more than they are worth. His words not mine. He said one's that are close to break even to fix are being sold to the likes of FEDEX.
