If they got a 100 seat relief they gain the difference in revenue from a current 76 seat jet. You have to figure how much the additional profit they might generate on the 24 more seats. I suspect the very best case might be 50 million a year yet we see rumor after rumor that the company is offering us 200 to 600 million a year in pay raises in exchange. You also have to look at the difference in revenue from the company choosing to operate the jet at the mainline. If you follow the convention wisdom of this board the mainline can fly the jet for the same cost as DCI. Why would the company offer 1 penny in that case.
I suspect the company may open for 100 seats in the next contract. It will however be a throw away item. There is no big push and management has no real desire to see that jet at DCI. They also have no real desire for the jet on the mainline. They want a new very efficient 150 seat jet. You will not see a 100 seater at DCI or the mainline.
