With that said, all this could all ready have been negotiated, but would have to pass memrat.
Yeah, the scope clause will remain, hopefully. I was not suggesting either Compass or Mesaba will be operating anything bigger than CRJ900s or the E175s. C Series or the E195s belong in the mainline fleet.
