Hey... I beat you to the crab legs photoshop from a certain game. :)

Gotta come up with some more, ftb!

You keep posting that, at least you have given up on the massive job loss stuff you kept spewing.
Here is what I don't understand. It's clear you want to be at war with management yet you seem to worship SWAPA who were the pioneers of the concept of working with management. DALPA tries for a new model somewhat based on SWAPA and produces a result that puts us at the top of the industry not long after being in chapter 11. Not a single airline in the last 15 years taking your approach has accomplished much of anything. Once again I have to go with reality and results. I want the most money and best quality of life I can get within the realities of working under the RLA. What we are doing has produced a remarkable result.

I do get all that. How many 76 seaters do we have today and how many does management appear to want?
By the way I fought hard to not allow the 76 seater at the mainline however a noted DPA supporter who was the MEC chairman at the time allowed the gross weight increase. Maybe we should call them DPA jets!

I understand that. It also looks like we are going up to 850 aircraft in the mainline. It's also a number that's easily manipulated by the company. The old contract allowed for resets going up but not down. The new contract requires resets both ways.

My issue though is if we go to 850 Jets and say they only do 193 76-seaters, off memory I think the min ratio is 1.3.

But what would the ratio actually be?

Heck what is it now? Actually, I may be able to answer that, or be close...

But the amount of material to work with is too great.

Numbers vary depending on when you take a snapshot. The latest I could find which come off the 2013 yearly report show we are at 268 70 and 76 seaters. That is a increase of 13 from the 255 we had when the contract was signed. I believe the mainline has gone from 706 airframes to 746 a increase of 40. The number of 50 seaters has dropped like a stone. I like the trend and hiring we are seeing.
