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.
Very nicely said.
Management knows they are getting rid of them. Then they come to us and say "we'll get rid of these, if you let us get more 76 seaters." Of course, we say yes. Then we take credit for them buying 717s, 737s, A321s... What a joke.
