DCI big RJ's per their scope? Also can scope be changed with a LOA instead of full contract member vote? Thx
Nope! Extra RJs were tied to the 717 deliveries which have been completed.

Sure an LOA could in theory be done, but it would fail hard.

Yes, because as I stated above, pilot costs are no longer a factor in market decisions. Mainline pilot costs are lagging revenue growth by more than 100%.

They are always looking for a good deal. We got those for the price that we normally pay for 76 seaters...

That has not been disclosed. For something like an MRJ purchase to occur, they would have to be flown at mainline, which is fine by me.

What's the difference if they were being shopped for or if they were sold? Not a single pilot on here is going to know the background and if they say they do, they are lying. The DO MIGHT know about a purchase order before it's agreed upon but I'm guessing that's the extent. Everything else is done by bean counters and pocket protectors

One of the program heads of the Cseries worked at Delta, he lurks the threads here as well.

Really, same as a CRJ900 or one of Bombardier's trains?

I just know who you are, not your whole history. Don't flatter yourself. I gotta say though, it's pretty comfortable up here in your head. It might be time to expand.
