The 737-900 should be increased to equal the 757, IMO... The 747-400 should have been bumped up a few bucks higher than the 777, as well.

You just said that last one just to **** me off, didn't you?

I didn't, but the resulting orange explosion should be quite amusing.

APA's proposal is 308 51-88 seat jets PLUS 352 70 seat jets. That's APA's proposal! That's supposed to be the good one!!!
APA's proposal or USAir management's proposal to APA?

Yeah why even bother with the 50 cents/hr over regular 737 pay? Seems like it would cost more to keep up with the split among a common fleet than it would to just raise the entire fleet to it.

Well then maybe other things will transpire to take care of that. If they go for that they have no business being in business.

Yep, the APA agreement with USair includes 10 compasses worth of large RJs allowed...

I haven't seen the specific wording or restrictions on them, though.

We will find out on June 22nd if the Judge will throw APA's contract out. If they do, DAL will want to move ASAP. Does that equate to leverage? If the judge doesn't we will have to wait and see what the results of their negotiations are.

Anything is possible, but I do not see the judge being the first to throw an agreement out, especially when AMR has until Sept 29th before they lose exclusivity.

That seemed very bizzare to me, but when I asked a rep about it they said the NC tried but the company would not even consider it....
