New aircraft type = newly negotiated rates. Our CS rates were an embarrassment and this gives us the chance to improve them.
Course its all moot unless we get off our asses and start ordering competitive aircraft. Guess Kirby has to check with his masters at Altimeter and PAR Capital first.

Wrong. JB configuration will be about 130-135 seats.
320 is currently 150 being modified to 162.
CS300 rate is only 4% less than 320. Maybe that’s “way less”?

The CS-300 pays like the 737-700 and 319 but the other smaller planes are obviously much lower. Just curious as to what rates you guys think would pass (not what you want) for something like a 76 and 100 seat jet on mainline? Also, any guess as to what percent increase on the current fleet will be? Obviously many other areas to address in a contract but just curious about rates for this question.

I’m a no vote unless I get a pony too.
See how beneficial that was?

Exactly. And just like the A321 NEO that they [UAL management] wished we ordered until it was too late to get them sooner than 5 years from time of order...they’ll realize the same thing with the A220. Not to worry though, Boeing will be there peddling their crappy alternative (the E-195) and we’ll gobble them up because nobody else wants them (like the guppymax 10).
