SKW getting 100 MRJs?
#11
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.

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.

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

Can they still be a DCI operator with 100 MRJs and the newer scope clause? Apparently they are thinking of ordering 100 Mitsubishi RJs for delivery between 2017 and 2020.
I see here that plane sits 70-90, so up to 76 seats would be allowed up to the limit of 223 total.

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.
