While I agree caution should be taken, a lot of regional pay scales are based on seat counts, not specific aircraft models like mainline carriers. Just FWIW.

Don’t take the pay cuts. It’s a 700 with less seats and should be paid accordingly.

I agree wholeheartedly, however, their management disagrees since they are going into pay scale negotiations.

...I agree, it should be flown at 70 seat rates (or higher).Also, there seems to be some confusion: The Bombardier press release is written in a way that suggests these are factory new aircraft and some are suggesting that current G7 CRJ-700s will be retrofitted with this new cabin and will be re certified as a CRJ-550. Is G7 getting any factory new aircraft or is it retrofitting current -700s or both?
If G7 loses the Delta flying this year (not rooting for that, just making a statement) that will help with the staffing of the CRJ-550 in the UAL system.
