The base number is 440+N where N equals aircraft in service, mx, spares, added to the fleet from NWA merger. This ended up being somewhere around 760-770 airplanes I think. Once this number is reached, they can add THREE 76 seaters for every ONE mainline airplane added. And my favorite part ONCE THE NUMBER OF 76 SEATERS IS ESTABLISHED, IT WILL NOT BE REDUCED.
I still get SO MAD when I read this. WHY DID WE PUT THIS IN???? ARGH!!!!
