We were looking at 500 captains jobs with a fleet in the 70 to 90 jet range the company planned.
The change at the bottom? What change at the bottom? The only change at the bottom was allowing more jumbo rjs. We didn't have to change the contract to get the E190. They can order that any time they want.
And right now there is an incentive to doing just that- we are cheaper. So what's the excuse?
In order to afford the 70 to 90 E190 fleet plus 40 737-900s we need dci to drop from 450 to 425 while adding 55 jumbo rjs to the dci fleet? wait. That math doesn't work. Unless 25 CRJ200s cost as much as 130 mainline jets?
How about call it was it was. They wanted to add sjs to the ta to get us to vote in concessions. Nothing more. Like a light pole in nashville we say no to this crap moving forward.
