Interesting - thanks for posting that. Anybody have any idea the exact amount of 76 seat a/c are currently operated at DCI? IF there are only 120 allowed and XJ and CP are already operating 72 of them, that leaves only 48 that could be operated at Pinnacle, Comair, Mesa and Skywest. 255, 70 seat a/c is a HUGE number! Looks like that could be the loophole DL will exploit.

INteresting bits about the flowthru as well. But where does it specifically mention Xj and CP in the flowthru language? Looks like deep furloughs aren't going to happen unless mainline wants to take the expense of converting 76 seaters into 70 seaters.

Does this answer the initial question of this thread? No, but it certainly puts to rest a ton of speculation by "people in the know" to rest.
