The overall fleet number which is currently at XXX cannot go below the current number plus the C series slots or we lose the extra 76 seaters. If C series jets are removed from the fleet we remove the 76 seats in a inverse proportion. Deliveries of the C series will start in 6 months and we will post a bid next week.
Would you say no???
Ok now I am a little nervous. Jeez. The company wants 100 seaters they'll buy 100 seaters. We agree to more 76 seaters, that's less future 100 seaters we'll get down the road.
