It's getting pretty difficult/embarrassing to look my Legacy buddies in the eye and justify to them that Spirit is worth making a career of due to the "business model"...

Delta TA:




Scope
• Retains the limit of 76 seats at DCI
• DCI fleet shrinks to 425 from 450
• Total number of RJs is reduced by 5.6 percent, RJ seat count reduced by 2 percent
• With current limits of 223 76-seaters and 102 total 70-seaters, allows 25 additional 70 or 76-seat jets, but tied to deliveries of a 100-seat small narrow-body aircraft(1 70/76-seat RJ for every 2 100-seaters delivered to Delta)
• Enhances mainline to DCI block hour ratio from current 1.35 to 1.81 end-state
• Restrictions in Section 1 D. 4.–1 D. 6. eliminated due to the fact that DCI aircraft are held at a fixed amount of flying
• Trans-Atlantic Joint Venture scope modified to a 50 percent block hour capacity baseline.
• No longer using EASK metric, this includes a carve-out for flights between U.S.
and U.K. due to the Virgin Atlantic Joint Venture.
• One-percent buffer, with a one-year measurement period and one year cure
period
• Improves fragmentation language and improves control definition
