Even with the concessions I believe the contract tops anything at CHQ. Canceled pay to start...
Continental went with CHQ because CHQ was the only one at the time with the ERJ program that wasn't XJT. CAL didn't want XJT regardless of price because of the liability of have too many eggs in one basket. DAL/Comair showed the industry what that's capable of.
