No kidding. I remember a negotiating committee member responding to my comment at the DTW TA2012 roadshow that management wants the 717 regardless if the TA passed. His response, "If we vote down the TA, management will heavy check the CRJ200's, retrofit new interiors, and fly them past 2025." Yes, that was his actual response. I couldn't believe his answer; I felt as if I were talking to someone from Mars.
