You can take that two ways. One we will not grow enough to allow more 76 seat jets, or that the allow 76 seat jet ratio is a hard limit that your MEC has not budged on. I prefer the latter!
Oh. I am not usually a glass half empty person, however, I also watched as us (fNWA) sign a deal allowing unlimited 44 seaters and being told that there is no way they can put in an additional 6 seats. It is a different type certificate and would be to expensive to even consider. Then in BK, unlimited 50 seaters and guess what, they put 6 more seats in as fast as they could.
You might also look at it as a replacement of 4 50 seat jets.
