So how will it be structured? Will we have as a part of our contract the requirement for the company to buy airplanes within XX amount of time? Or will we take a smaller pay increase with the company's promise to buy more airplanes within XX amount of time? Or maybe... just maybe...
I think we should take a 10% pay cut if the company promises they will buy 100 777s. We don't need any time frame, or any penalties if they don't do so. Just think of all the movement that will occur.... and since bigger pays more, it is a win win deal.

Who knows? The question is whether or not you felt the gamble was worth the risk. It will turn out to be a moot point anyway as the regional model will implode right before our very eyes, so I couldn't care less about the "large RJs". They are not gonna have the manpower to staff them in the near future. I'm gonna enjoy the show. Will the company ask for more "large RJs" going forward? Doubtful.

If it were random. APC would likely be considered a biased sample with self-selection and some other statistical issues that I cannot remember.

Not at all. Plan B was to buy a smaller number of A319s that were coming off of a lease to Ryanair.

APD questions: If a single day APD request is submitted that touches a multi-day trip, is the entire trip dropped? If so, does submitting the APD on the only day that has more reserves available than required improve the likelihood of getting the APD approved?
