The company will seek cost savings with bidding aircraft so I'm guessing CRJ CA's will not be able to bid 175 just as explained above due to number of training events.
There is a GIR however since the company believes they can pay vacation and rsv at 50 seat rates when a pilot is based on the mainland where 50 seaters do not exist. As I've heard, they can't have their cake and eat it too. They will have to cave on something, but right now it's hard telling what/where. Stay tuned.....
That's why I brought this up. If they are going to put up fences then the base pay for CLT and PHX would have to be 900 pay. What about Iad and Ord? They are 76 seat aircraft. Equal size. Does the seating capacity have to be more to move over. We will only have 38 aircraft with 79 seats for future scope. How could they get around this or can they?
