I also assume they intend to negotiate a pay rate for the CS100 since it isn't listed under pay rates but the CS300 is in there already.
The C300 isn't considered a NSNB because it's basically the same capacity as the A319 or 737-700. We need them to bring the 100-110 seat jet to mainline.
As far as pay rates go, we already have E190 and E195 rates so they can order those planes with no discussions. I can't imagine they would delay an order because of the lack of negotiated pay rates. CBA 3-J covers everything about new aircraft types.
