Imagine we were a 747, 777, 787 only airline, and the company wanted to make it like is today with 757, 737, Bus all you'd hear is guys complaining about how low the 73 and Bus rates are and its a B-scale. These airplanes pay less because they are smaller. If you don't want to fly it, don't bid it. Its not a B-scale. Its an appropriate scale for the airplane.
I don't really see downside from the 100 seat jets and the appropriate pay. We wanted to do that flying instead of another airline, and now we are going to have it, and all guys do is complain.
None of those are reasons to vote no. There are lots of other ones.
