Hey Carl, how long do you have left? I've always respected your opinion.

The new total RJs under C15 is 425 RJs, which is 223 76ers, 102 70s and 100 50s. They still only are allowed the 25 76ers but must park 25 50s.

Not sure why everyone is focusing on this non issue. There are much bigger issues wrong with this TA.

EXACTLY. My concern is the E195 will become the new B scale. What prevents them from using it to do most domestic flying under those pathetic rates. The E195 can do most of the domestic flying.

My consolation was that at least it is way better than the previous rates... sheesh.

Ironic that a C-series model showed up at HQ today!

I've got six left, but I've got no intention of going to 65. I truly think it's bad for your health.

But it's way less than the 717. Why? Essentially the same aircraft.

Default Chairman's Remarks

I have not seen any mention of Chairman Mike Donatelli's remarks from today on this forum. As I said to my reps in an email, "anything requiring this much salesmanship belongs on a used car lot." It's actually nauseating. Any of you that heard him deliver in person are a better man (or woman) than I, for being able to sit through it.

As a newcomer here, I'm not sure what the limits are for a single post, but I'll try to cut and paste for your viewing pleasure. If it does not show up in the next window, you'll know I failed. But track it down on the ALPA website or attached to the Fastread eamil that was sent out today. It's worth a read, and should instill amazement and apprehension in everyone.

Clearly you are FNWA. Most RD's would take the money and run at that point. I can always tell the difference.

His money is already in a safe account.
