I think the two crashed maxes and entire pause of the program confirmed the nma was dead.

This might be the funniest post of the week.

It’s got 2 aisles, it’s a widebody.

Rhetorical question.

Don’t loose focus. IMHO, the company needs the 321. They also need more 76 seat to compete downrange.

They buy.....we fly. If they want more 76 seat aircraft the avenue to get them exists presently.

NO gives on scope. It has NEVER benefited the mainline, EVER.

But a 764 is? The 763s are widebodies. Whether or not they pay like widebodies is up to the pilot group to negotiate.

But, but......if pilots don’t concede scope the company may have to cancel the A350 order due in 2027. Do you want widebody aircraft or regional jets?

The 767 is not a widebody for the purposes of **** measuring only.

64 new planes in one year isn’t anything to sneeze about. Now I can see why the new hire classes are up to 60 pilots per.

You say we take delivery of 64 planes in 2020? holy cow, that's like 9 crews per plane if my Arkansas chain math is right. Do we have the staffing for that?

He’s referring to the belief that said a 767-400 is a wide body but a 767-300 isn’t (but a 757-300 was a WB too). Oh and the 757 is the same as a 737.
