The largest rj at US Airways is the Embraer 175. We have outsourced the same plane. We just put a few less seats in it. It's nothing a configuration change can't fix. I watched the MD-88's add 7 seats and the MD-90's add 10 seats overnight.

True, but I meant more seats allowed. Don't their Mesa CR9s have 86 seats? What about those E175s?

US colored 175s have 79 seats and the 170s have 70.

The CRJ900s were grandfathered from AW's scope which have 86 seats.



Let's get back to the unionoids telling us how much better our TA is than a bankruptcy agreement.

That's pretty damning.

Thats half correct, I personally flew the 175 with 86 seats under airways colors for RAH. once they put in the first class on the 175's it went down to the 79

Thanks for the correction... I asked what they currently seat. I guess I should have asked what the past had as well.

It's hard to hit a homerun when a direct competitor is in BK. Throw in very low pay at UA and US, and it makes it even tougher. Go ahead and discount that, but it's true.

No, that's not the problem.

It's hard to hit a home run when your "union" puts out for RA every time he drunk dials them at 2am for a booty call. (aka "constructive engagement.")

Management gets a "home run" every time. We just feel ashamed and take a shower.

To kind of get back on topic here. I'm curious what the differences are between Delta's BK scope section from a few years ago and AMR's BK scope section. To lazy to do the research.
