Not sure why I'm bringing this up other than comparing it to real flying on the MD.

One thing that WAS interesting is the virtual base thingy. Especially in MCO. With the recent announcement of MCO-GRU and SEA-MCO, it does make one wonder what's up with that.

When I heard that, I immediately thought "tsquare (cough...bender) is going to be ALL over this!"

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.
Oh wait a sec...I apparently misunderstood. I thought the TA raised the 76 seat cap by 25...you're saying it keeps the cap the same but places greater restrictions on going above the current 198? If so that's a win.

It doesn't. The company at their option can add in a combined total of 25 more 70 or 76 seaters above either cap.

No doubt; the body wants to go to bed at bedtime. As opposed to seeing 4+17 flight time remaining on the FMS and calling back for another coffee.

Can't anyone see the trend. We need our own scope to protect use on how many smaller jets we get before the Co. Needs to adjust the rates.
I believe you are right. And it's even more amazing that they are using it as a selling point for this TA!

Hopefully you guys hold out for a lot more. Now is the best time for pilots as a whole.
