Or if you're a first year guy flying the 7/9. Or any number of other odd circrumstances.
The COLA doesn't match today's inflation, and I suspect tomorrow's inflation. But, we currently have ZERO COLA through Dec 2010.
Also, to another post, the 170/175 jungle jet happens to match the seat count (give or take) the CRJ-700/900. Since we currently have a 51-99 seat rate, naming those planes precludes an E190/195 from showing up to be flown at the same rate. That's why we named it.
Had we just said 90 (or 88) seats or less, we could still fly a B717. Not that I would having think that would happen, but ya gotta cover your bases
