That is irrelevant. If they didn't think 99 seat aircraft were not possible there would be nothing in the contract for it.
I get a tired of hearing the whining about 175's at shuttle not making more money. OUR contract is not based on a model # its based on seating. You are not working any harder flying a 175 with 76 seat vs a 170 with 70. If anybody your FAs ought to be making more money.
If we want a good contract there is plenty of guidance in our old one as to what is wrong.
PS I am not slamming our contract or those who had negotiated it. I am however asking people to RTFC!!
