We have worked out a deal for in-house. It’s called the CS100. We have also had a E190 payrate in our contract for years. You seemed confused however on aircraft purchases. Management buys aircraft not unions. Had we allowed the MRJ or other aircraft we would not have the 717 and soon CS100 on the property and several thousand pilots who have moved up to Delta would still be at the regionals.
