Turns out it was a lie, go figure. The pilots voted yes and how many -400's have you gotten since then? None, and they went ahead and financed RJ's for ACA anyhow. Check your early '90's union history.
Check my history? I was there! The RJ vote was in 1997, not "early 90's hstory". The agreement was for 50 seaters and their number was tied to the number of mainline aircraft flying. Again, IT WAS THE BANKRUPTCY that erased the scope. Basically allows unlimited 70 seaters as long as UAX block hours do not exceed mainline block hours. It is a license to steal, and in fact stole thousands of mainline jobs and allows 170Homie to brag about his state of the art Replacement Jet.
