My prediction is we announce the fleet review decision at farnborough mid July...maybe before depending on when voting opens. Or perhaps the fleet review details “leak” before or during voting before the official announcement. Lots of 190 guys are not having the AIP’d 190 rates. JetBlue announce a c series order...suddenly 190 guys see the low rates as temporary until they become higher paid c series guys (still low, just not as low). I think that is the strategy to sway the vote when it counts. If there’s an E195E2 announcement, which would indefinitely keep us on these terrible E rates, that may not do well for the company and this vote. I’ll throw an extra bet down and wager the airplane order will be tied to ratification. Right out of F&H’s playbook.
Really or.
We get a large C Oder and start to replace the old 320s and the 190.
The C could be good for 190 guys but bad for bus guys.

If fleet review isn't revealed before the vote, I'm not sure how anyone can't assume the worst.

I don't care. FUPM. I just fly the dang things, and I need a contract that compensates me appropriately, in both seats, in both fleets. Who knows where I'll get stuck when the music stops.

A C series order isn't necessarily a good thing. They could order 40 to replace our 60 E190s. Or they order 60 C series, to replace 60 E190s and 30 A320s.
