Good, MOSTLY. Because the larger gage equipment is MORE OF A THREAT TO THE MAINLINE/NARROW BODY JOB. But yeah, the reduction in airframes at the regional level was one of the BEST THINGS TO HAPPEN in DAL's/UCH's CBA's. Hopefully the trend continues.

And with the way pilots b1tch, it can be the epitome of irony;

Those of us with a clue get it, but others don't. It's funny when you hear it.

As mentioned above, hopefully the momentum keeps up. As with DAL's previous PWA and it's scope language, they stay the pace car going forward next year.
