Shiz,
I took the "not one more seat" to mean no increase beyond 76 seats.
I took the "not one more pound" to mean no increase in permitted maximum gross weight of any regional jet.
I took the "not one more jet" to mean
no increase in the number of 76 seat aircraft allowed.
And that's where I see contract 2012 as a scope failure. Simply put DALPA negotiated (and to be fair; the pilot group ratified the TA) an increase in the number of 76 seat RJ's.
FTB put it well (imagine that?):
"And no, an exchange of any of the current PWA limits for fewer 50 seaters is not a win. We now know from the earnings calls how much of a financial and customer service albatross those things are now so imho they can just fade without a swap. A swap is not a win."
