WRT your block hour protection argument, the company has been well above the compliance line for quite some time. If the PWA were "forcing" any action on their part, they would be much closer to the limit than they are. Again, I believe what we're seeing is market forces compelling the company's actions, not the PWA.
Bottom line, I'm not willing to accept 50 more large RJs at DCI. We have EMB190/CRJ900 rates in our current PWA - if the company needs more large RJs, they can have Delta pilots fly them.
Spot on....If they need the lift, they can go to the desert and grab 50 seaters. I thought Richard said they were going to do that anyways.
Why does it have to be 76 seats anyway, won't 70(69) seats meet the network requirements? Won't that bring you a fat Valintines check Knotsofast? Your mind set is exactly why we have so many connection jets, you just don't care about anyone but yourself.
