Is this a shot of the 737-700 trying to take back flying from the Heavy RJ's?

Can someone with the authority to do so, update the Delta profile to show the next contractual pay raise and change the guarantee? (and anything else that has changed with this last contract...)

FARNBOROUGH: SkyWest Airlines commits to 100 MRJs
So Skywest has ordered 100 of these things that will seat 78 people in the smaller version and 86 in the larger. Trans States also has 50 orders and 50 options.
Does your new scope clause allow 76 seats or 78?
Skywest and trans states could be hoping to fly them for American but the deliveries are slated for 2017 so is this Skywest hoping scope is lifted to 86 seats in your 2015 contract?
Seems like Skywest and TSA are banking their entire futures on these things.

In europe, regionals already fly 190's (KLM Cityhopper) We have to stop this trend! Hire me and I will help!

Unfortunately some here see our contract as a scope gain. :(
I still remember Brad Holt saying "Deal me an ace!". Now mainline has given another ace to Brad and Chip-away Childs.

We did make a scope gain. The "terms and conditions" of the DCI fleet plan are locked up and solid. There is no room for negotiation out of section 6 on hull count WHEN the 88 717s arrive. We control the business plan of the fleet and now it's the company's turn to expend negotiating capital changing the limits of DCI scope.

With that being said I think we all learned a valuable lesson through this last section 6 that many people vote yes just to pad their wallet. With these orders for MRJs coming in (unless they're just a show of force against Bombardier to get Bombardier to lower their prices) we'll have to immediately be ready to oppose their operation in our network or under our alliances. Th company may think they're smart enough to maneuver something like this over on us. Let's make sure we prove them wrong.

Right up until 2015 when you open your wallets again to trade more Scope for pay. Don't worry, it will be a another "win". Thank God I'll be retired :cool:

I think the MRJ has more than 76 seats, and we didn't gain any pay for an increase in that number. That number has not moved. Wikipedia says that plane is 70-90 seats. I suppose they could have a 76 seat version if they are within the scope limits.

Does anyone know how you get all the new manual option onto your ipad? I couldn't find any guidance on Deltanet.

I'm glad you'll be retired too. Congratulations. You've obviously done a terrific job your entire career not selling out on scope. You should be proud of your accomplishments.
