If you can get _all_ the 76 seat flying, then bring them on board. Otherwise, you're just creating hostages to be whipsawed.
The jet operated by Compass is a distinct type, operated at distinct weights and if it were at mainline it would be an 88 seat jet.
There are plenty of distinctions that make it different and then we go after Republic (who is non-ALPA, who we can legally beat the crap out of) for their non compliance (which I am almost certain of now) and establish the type on the property.
Why is a hostage that flows off the property fine with you? What's more of a hostage a pilot who bid a lower paid position, or someone furloughed to the street?
