The same ASM limits, but capped at 70-seats. The problem with the old scope clause was that it lacked holding company language, lacked merger protections, etc.
I'm glad that it's considered "iron clad" scope.... but, why allow ANY outside flying?
Because you never get everything you want in negotiations. The 86-seats was a trade for the holding company scope.
