? Not too sure about this one. Depends on who you ask. There are some on the MEC who say that this is not the case, and some who say it is. Looks like an arbitration is in order here.

I don't see this 100 seat regional feed spreading to UA,AA,DA or any other large carrier because it would be like slitting your own throat (a topic which has been beaten to death).
WHEN SkyWest,XJet and the rest buy 100 seat planes to "codeshare" (which is different than regional feed) for UA or AA, etc.. this Republic deal will be the benchmark for those pilots wages.

Wow, they didnt even have the decency to physically remove the 100th seat. Pathetic. I am guessing BB knows he will lose this one in arbitration. Im also guessing things will drag on and on years in arbitration until that 100th seatbelt gets put back, so it will make $$ for BB until then.

other things going against you are plenty of industry arbitrations, mostly by FA's, and industry common practices of removing from service a few seats to get under FAA limits and then need fewer fight attendants...
IE - taking a few seats out of service to get a 155 seat jet to only 149 seats and then needing one less FA... althoigh they typically remove the seat, not just MEL it.... how do you have a permanent MEL? do they fix it, then put it back out oif service on some type of schedule?

The CRJ seatbelts are not deferrable, but the passenger seat is. The seat is repair category C, which means the MEL is only valid for 10 days after the deferral is made. I guess Embraer / Chautauqua have a different set of rules, or maybe their POI doesn't care.

Of all the things to jump on someone for, I thought this issue is pretty cut and dry. Is there another reason/rationalization for the FO "commuter" pay progression (or lack thereof)?
