The rest and scheduling rules will result in an apx 20% increase in staffing at the feeders to comply. This will exert further downward pressure on wages at these carriers and the claim they cannot operate profitably with 76 seats. The NPRM will be used as the segway into the next round of Scope demands to fly larger acft at the feeders. Lufthansa has already allowed 95 seat acft. Better gear up for battle. We know where they can fly them but now there will be added economic pressure to continue the outsourcing. All the majors had better start figuring out what rate they will be willing to fly these acft for.
