Would the 70 seaters being flown by Mana air count against the 70/76 seat limit? Would flying an E-195 at Mana Air be allowed, since they would be flown by pilots on our seniority list?
I am sure that there are some creative solutions being looked at!!

We’ve only been awarded 25 E175SCs, perhaps they are thinking we’ll be awarded more? But the 70 seaters are scoped out. Only way to get more is to park the 50 seaters which goes against Kirby’s strategy, replace more CR7s with 175SCs or perhaps “insourcing” is a possibility.
