The goal should be let the 50 seat jets die, use the 70/76 seat jets on those routes, and has 319’s and the small 73’s (or buy 220’s) to serve the former 70/76 seat routes.

Were the Mesa 700’s working in the UAX system or the AA system? If they were flying for UAX, then they could be converted into 550’s and backfilled with 175’s restricted to 70 seats. If they were in the AA system, then we’re already scoped out on 70/76 seaters and they just add 550’s. Either way, giving any relief on scope is asinine, selling it as helping a few commuters get a jumpseat is insulting.
Since this is about hydrogen engines, how much heavier would these planes be than the current engine configuration? Would the Tumi TA scope relief coincidently be enough to make the new engines miraculously be scope compliant? One final question, why do we keep putting turds in the punch bowl every time we “negotiate”?
