Crj 550
#191
Read through the thread and just want to clarify, does your scope define aircraft by number of seats or also by weight? Essentially, they can’t replace a CRJ 200 with a 550, correct? They’d have to take a 700 out of service to put a 550 in?

50-seat limit is 65,000lbs and the 70/76-seat limit is 86,000lbs.
So the 550 is simply an existing CRJ700 that is being re-certified with a lower seat capacity and a reduced gross weight to comply with the 50-seat 65,000 lbs limit in the United Pilot Agreement.

I'd like to believe we have 12.5k+ strong willing to go to the matresses to prove him wrong. Bring it on.

The 50 seaters and 70/76 seaters are both limited in total number (using a formula) and by gross weight.
50-seat limit is 65,000lbs and the 70/76-seat limit is 86,000lbs.

Slim to none. Now if delta and American get quick contracts before us with no scope relief then that plays well for us, but if those two carriers modify their scope relief for the worse then obsvisly that hurts us. It is a waiting game right now. We just got a raise right before the amendable date so most everyone is content so we will see how long this drags out.
