There could be manly reasons. It might be they plan on using the mainline for the replacement lift and want to know their costs. It could be they want to use larger RJ's. The post in question however said that Bastion stated that as a fact. He made no such statement at all.

Nu, you'll all be signing an MD-88.
But if it has my name, nobody will know it. With 200 hours in a year, nobody knows me. 
And hopefully my matte will go better than my wedding day one "FTB, congratulations... [FTB's Wife] GOOD LUCK." Nice, sits in the dinning room.
Sure my matte will say "DAMN DUDE! LEARN TO PROOFREAD AND SPELL!"

So assuming these rumors are true, can I ask why would our negotiators agree to allow more 76 seaters in exchange for less 50 seaters?! That is crazy, everyone knows the 50 seaters will go away or at least greatly reduce eventually here either way! The company must have very good negotiators if they can convince us to give up something in exchange for something the company was planning on giving up anyway.
Regional flying should be REGIONAL. Small airplanes, with a maximum flight distance as well. I really hope the MEC votes for what is in our best interest. I'm usually really optimistic, but I just have a bad feeling that these rumors have to have some truth to them. With southwest pushing back 737 deliveries, something going on between Delta and Pinnacle, along with the letter we received from the chairman emphasizing RATIO, I'm getting a little worried.

No kidding, I have never seen an info blackout like this.
