I know they have another avenue to get more rj’s. It’s not just that they’re trying to get them for free, they don’t seem to even want 100 seat mainline jets. Again another rough example... If our current contract says for every 3 mainline A220’s, they get 1 E175 up to the current limits, and a new deal said that for every 5 A319neo, or Max7, they get 1 E175 up to the same limit. Would this not be better for us providing that in order to add any more 76 jets they’d also have to significantly reduce the total number of regional jets. No more unlimited 50 seaters. Yes it’s a change, but we’d be adding 5 higher paying aircraft per rj rather than 3 lower paying ones. Again, very rough draft possibility, but I am willing to explore a change and keep an open mind providing that it improves our protections and advancement.
