The "New American" just got their contract. Looks like the MRJ is outside the scope.. Thank God!
But now comes Delta.
Will Delta Management want something to keep Profit Sharing for the pilots?
Will they ask/demand for the MRj to be flown with 88 seats total (giving it a Business First/EconPlus/Economy seating) at the regionals?
Time will tell. Delta is the next showdown~
BUT
Don't rule out the "other" players. Virgin America? JetBlue? Alaska?
On a side note-
That plane was built by Asians for Asians. Can't wait to see how Americans and The West fits into it!
