I don't know why 76 seat flying isn't desirable enough to expend negotiating capital on until it's done under the Shuttle brand.
Because, for those who are uninformed about what went on with the JCBA, they were not Sec. 6 negotiations. It wasn't advantageous for DALPA to go there at this time because the company wanted too much for opening scope. From your posts though, it sounds like you believe all the 70+ flying should be at mainline. Will you still support that view if we do recover the flying and instead of being merged or stapled, your company closes and you get furloughed instead?
