There is no way anyone can know "recovering the 76 seat flying would just cost too much" when no one has seriously studied it and no economic analysis has been done. If I'm wrong then put up the data to shut me up.
Don Quixote, didn't we go through this last year? And the year before?
Your base statement is wrong. There have been multiple economic analyses done. They've been done by ALPA E&FA, by the Collective Bargaining committee, and by an outside financial advisor. The data isn't public, as I'm sure that you'd prefer we not solidly make management's points for them. But you're flat out wrong.
You talk of job security. How many DCI pilots are on furlough? How many mainline pilots are on furlough? How many 76 seat jets can be added? How many greater than 50 seat jets can be added?
