35 Large RJs coming back?
#11
You know what else is in the current contract? Pay rates for the 900s.
This screams “we were violating scope, got caught, and now need to figure out how to do what we were doing anyway.” They don’t care about flow up or down.

They care about keeping RJs flying. Before covid EDV was losing more than they could hire. It’s a carrot to keep RJ pilots there for 7 years rather than bailing for LCCs.

DCI already parked 50-60 CRJ200s and all will be gone by end of 2023. Ignoring these 35, this is the smallest DCI has been in well over a decade. With no CRJ900 replacement, the SpaceJet dead, and E-175 eventually on way out (E2 is too heavy for scope) time is on our side to watch it continue to shrink.

oh I completely agree, to my knowledge they are STILL flying mode than 188 76 seaters. Something something always keep your deals.
On a side note would probably bid the CRJ900 if it came here. Pay aside I liked the layovers and I bet my seniority would be great

Yes if you’re gonna have to put 76 seats in one jet, do it in the ERJ with greater MTOW and use the big wing. Burns a bit more so spreading the cost out on 76 seats and the more efficient 900 having 70 is probably a winner.

I liked that too. He says they adjusted the large RJ fleet by the contractual amount after the flow-down was no longer available. Left out the part where it took them months and grievances to comply with the contract. Those planes should be left in the desert for spare parts.

I was not around for furloughs. Also, there are roughly one thousand improvements I’d like to see in our contract, and a flow-down provision has never been on that list. Should it be? If that’s the carrot to get us to yield on scope, I’m currently a huge “no thanks.”

Flow Down was already in the contract, this would "get it back". Not saying I agree with it.

At least they weren’t violating scope provisions prior to the Covid dropoff...
