Default A22-100 and smaller blended rate🤢

I’m leaning toward more of a yes vote butttt one thing that’s really bothering me is this blended rate. To me, it looks like a repeat of eat the young. The A220-300 rate falls in line with the NB aircraft. However, A220-100, E190/95 and smaller have this group one rate. It’s isn’t so bad stand alone, but the quick reference guide states that if 2 of these type aircraft are brought on property it now falls into the “blended” rate, which is absolutely TRASH. I can see AA going to Embraer and striking a sweetheart deal for these new Embraers that are almost a dead product because of scope, and brought to mainline. An easy transition especially since they already have flown the 190’s and Eagle brands operate the 175’s. Now you have guys who came from the regionals flying the same equipment for much less. Not saying it’s gonna happen, but, I know what I’d do if I were in management.
