IIRC its somewhere in the neighborhood of 400-500 positions, at the top of the list, half CA half FO, at up to 4 years longevity pay depending on variables. If they can't get a large RJ provider to agree, then we should try and get the system board to make them pull down that number of large RJ's from the totals. I think its a case we would win. If not then so be it, but they can't just liquidate their end of the deal unilaterally. That number of large RJ's only exist as a condition to there being a flow down. Either park the RJ's or pay whichever regional will agree for the full cost of the bump and flush to accomidate it.
