Our first TA increased that weight limit by 4,000lbs. That would have allowed the 50 seat CRJ-550 to be used as designed and not handicapped with an artificial limit that prevents it from being used on many routes.
However, too many people were irrational and got caught up in “they took ‘er jobs” panic mode. Then we had to use up negotiating capital to renegotiate that demand and give up some other improvement we could have gotten in the contract.

options for regional flying.
Doing ORD-AUS like the Crj-200 did is not what a 50 seat rj was intended for.
and what Negotiating capital? It's the status quo, so nothing was expended.

The updated FAA pax weight changed the situation. Nothing wrong with "not one seat, not one pound" but they could have allowed some weight change, gotten something in return and kept the planes range at original specs with previous FAA policy.

where does it end? Maybe some more 76 seaters in exchange for better crew meals?
