Bill, what's the max allowed weight of a DCI 76 seater per the PWA?

There is language in the TA allowing Skywest to operate an aircraft in a non DCI operation that is larger than what is allowed for DCI. Just look at those limits in section 1 and look at the MRJ specs and you can figure out which variant they are allowed to operate in a non DCI operation that is larger than 76 seats.

Hi, I understand that. They have more seats. But not for Delta. 76 is the limit, and there is a limit for the number of those planes too.

Really? Talk about gullible. It's called the Farnburough Air Show. That is when airlines are courted by manufacturers. That is when airlines make announcements, along with the Paris Airshow. Do you think that was all coordinated? Wow.

I don't think they will be allowed to fly the larger version, and certainly not for DL as feed or a code share.

There is.

It's making me curious about Bill's airline of origin though. After all of this time his screaming that we need to pass this TA and I'm wondering if he ever was a Delta pilot.

Hahahha. I don't have the contract on me like you do. I thought there was only one loophole for Frontier and the Republic clause. If they keep the MRJs at the smaller end, then I guess it's ok, and they'll use them at UA or AA.

Thanks for keeping the contract on your person all the time. Enjoy the raise and 717s, I will.

I see here that plane sits 70-90, so up to 76 seats would be allowed up to the limit of 223 total.
If they can't operate them,we can be sure ALPA will change the pwa to let them.

It won't be for DAL! The MEC would not vote to allow it out of a meeting and it would fail a MEMRAT anyway.

What is the quid we could secure if the company were to desire a change that allowed SKYW to fly it elsewhere (AMR/LCC/UCAL)?
More money?
Reducing the DCI limit by a number of airframes again?
Upping the MBH ratios?
Improving vac/trng credit again?
Moving res max to ALV 7.5?
ADG to 5:00?
We still have a list of wants, you never know when you can make some gains.

Lots of options out there where we can gain without really losing anything.

Merely holding the line and forcing the elimination of SKYW wouldn't reduce the RJ flying, DAL would merely ensure the flying was placed at another(undercutting) DCI.

Skywest cannot take delivery of these airplanes under the recently ratified TA. Not without us giving up scope...

I agree. But it's only "giving up scope" if we get nothing in return. It's selling otherwise.
