Damn near free.

Is what one 4th floor type said. RA I believe leveraged the no vote for a better rate. That dude would make a good airline pilot, he's so cheap.

We ought to write the price we paid for airplanes on the side of them just to troll. The $7M 777. The $5M 190s. $8M fleet of 717s. $10M MD-90s. $40M new 739.

It probably all falls apart when they paint how much the 76-seaters cost.

I wonder if the company actually is happy that we voted down the TA? Even their own words stated that we got the 190s due to a better economic deal.

I think Richard Anderson & Co. always have a Plan-B, Plan-C, etc. IMO, they're not "happy" we turned down the first deal, but with that metric, they were able to turn the failed TA into a better deal with Boeing.

Hey now...that's uncalled for. We all do the same job. You're not any better than the rest of us "punks".

Aren't these the same old first gen E190 DALPA tried to sell us in TA15? Glad they are coming and glad we didn't bend over to get them.

Right on! Hey, I thought we were going to the P.E.B. if that last P.O.S. got turned down?

Instead, D-ALPA starts negotiations again with the Co. next Tuesday, Dec. 22nd. #focus-plus!!

This may be a silly question but I recall that there was some language associated with the 717's that allowed for more 76 seat jets... The arrival of the 190's doesn't allow for more large RJ's correct?
