Correct!
I though there was a cut out for them but it actually only states '37 seat turboprops'~

Therefore-

** REVISED**

Current Fleet plan (as of 23 July)
Q400 (71/74 seats) - 28
CRJ700 (70 Seats) - 115
EMB170 (70 Seats) - 38
EMB175 (76 Seats) - 33
Total 70/76 seat ac = 214

Planned end of 2015
Q400 (71/74 seats) - 20 [reduction of 8]
CRJ700 (70 Seats) - 109 [reduction of 6]
EMB170 (70 Seats) - 38
EMB175 (76 Seats) - 82 [increase of 49]
Total 70/76 seat ac = 249

Per 1-C-1-a(2)-(c)
up to 255 70/76 seat ac, of which up to 130 may be 76 seat. After 1 Jan 2016, up to 153 76 seat ac.

Per 1-c-1-g
IF the company adds a NSNB, company can go from 153 to 223 76 seat ac..
HOWEVER
Once the number of 70/76 seat ac exceeds 255, then the limit on 70 seat ac can not exceed 102.

The way I read it- if the company wants to add 6 larger RJ's next year (to the limit of 255), no problem.
If they want to add a 7th, Problem.

Has nothing to do with a NSNB. They can order it, we can fly it.
BUT.. if they are at 88 large RJ's (76 seater), they can't add another one TILL they start to reduce the number of 70 (71/74?) seaters down towards 102 aircraft. Basically a one for one add/remove.
[A total reduction of 65 aircraft!]

Question becomes- what (if anything) do they want? I have my opinion and most of you can probably see what they want. Also, where do those Q400 fit in? 70 seat category or 76 seat? Next question- Are we willing to negotiate something for that?

Always
Motch

PS) We will also sit at 272 small RJ's/TP's. There is another clause in the CBA dealing with those and total number of aircraft, but it seems they are in compliance with that going forward.. so not an issue (yet?!)
