At what point will a market need a bigger aircraft but there wont be one since we have all our 70/76 seaters already allocated?
The fact that we have NO 100 seater is killing us.. slowly.
I also find it (sadly) humorous that it will be staffed by a single flight attendant but still have a first and a premium economy class.
Service?! NOPE.
But, it gets UAL & SK around the current Small Scope limitations.
At least now we already know our Profit Sharing for 2020 will probably be around 2-3%..
[As I've stated before (my opinion).. if we don't do some sort of E195-E2 order at this years Paris Airshow, I don't think we will have a new contract for a while. Oh well. At least we have new crappy uniforms to look forward to~]

Coming in positive again here...I don’t think “killing us slowly” is growing 5% per year with an aircraft order book that is putting us up over 800 mainline aircraft this year. New route announcements happening often enough that I start tuning out. We are getting used 319s so maybe with the additional first class seats it gets the market for a 100 seater.
