You can have your Relative Percentile integration... but I want a 7 year fence between jets and props in return.
That way, you guys keep your bidding power on your own equipment... and since none of you want to come over to the CRJs (cause they're old and smelly), then you shouldn't have a problem with a long-term fencing solution.
A 7 year fence at a regional on a jet that will be gone in 5 years? Is everyone at Pinnacle forgetting that you have 120 of the least desirable jets in the world? Do you think your 200s are going to be around forever? Do you really think your lousy 200s are that much better than the props? I think we have all commuted/dead-headed enough in the 200s to have earned the right to call them lousy. They can't get rid of those things soon enough.
We are a regional, we don't fly 747s. I think you are having delusions of grandeur. The sooner you come to the realization that you work at a Regional airline the better off you will be to face reality.
