Not one more seat, not one more pound, not one more airframe. Let the regionals choke on their current fleet options. Not our problem. JetBlue flies the E190 at 10% less than their A320 pay. We can do the exact same thing for these pathetically sent to market "scope jets", or they can eat them. Whatever.
If Delta flies the ERJ-175 and pays DC9/717 wages, they are setting the new industry standard wages higher. So when a company like RAH goes into their next negotiating session and the issue of pay becomes a point where the parties cannot come to an agreement, industry standard pay becomes relevant to binding arbitration or an imposed settlement. What are you guys smokin?
