Look at what Delta's doing to the 50 seaters. It's coming to AAG also.
I hate to say it, but I'm not overly opptimistic of AWAC getting bigger planes. They've told us time and time againt that we are sticking with the 50 seaters. Our contract already has rates in place for 51-70 seat rates, and I highly doubt they are going to bring on new airplanes to give us all a raise overnight.
Now, if we sign a deal to take pay cuts, increase our insurance premiums to 50%, and agree to fly anything up to 180 seats for less than what we make now, then I'm sure we can get all the flying we could ever need. Like was mentioned previously, use this extension time wisely. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
