According to our MEC update the meeting centered around refleeting, but also discussed continued dhc-8 flying and future possibility of jets of different sizes and types.

Seems to me, nothing specific is being discussed and hashed out at the meeting and this is all just a play to get Envoy back to the table.

12th year 700 rates with COLA raises hits $97 8 years from now (1% raises baby!) I'm not sure what EGL's is at the end of their DOS raises but it's probably better.

Wow, good for you. You're flying twice as many seats at PSA. If we were flying 76 seat jets I'm sure we would accept nothing less than PSA rates, not to mention our contract including health care and vacation is 10x better than PSA and in many areas better than Eagle/Envoy. Keep in mind, right now we have out station basing. It's much cheaper to live in SBY, MDT, or ROA than it is to live in DFW, MIA, ORD or even CLT. We go to hub basing we better take that COLA into consideration.
