If the E190 is growth, then we sit on our hands and they have to get the anyway because they can't staff their own marketing plan with the 2% extra DCI seats on inefficient 50 seaters that they can't staff anyway.
The 737's have already been announced as replacements so who cares.
They are going to get the planes they need regardless of this ridiculous scope deal. Meanwhile if we reject the TA, they have to scramble to cover the network with a collapsing DCI system with inefficient 50 seaters that they can't staff anyway.
Bingo! Just like in 2012, the 717's were coming anyway, regardless of our vote. Did anyone really believe Richard was going to re-engine an entire fleet of 50 seat RJ's if we voted that one down? Really?
These 737's and 190's are coming regardless of this TA vote. Why should WE buy little airplanes for Delta, while changing our JV scope to allow them to outsource more of our Wide Body flying to help pay for 190's?
WHY?
We are idiots if we fall for this...AGAIN!
