RJ Scope
Interesting article on the MRJ which I thought did not meet our Scope due to its gross weight not to mention 92 passengers. The article says that some of DAL's connection carriers already have orders.
Any Scope experts care to chime in? This could be an issue in our next contract.

The SkyWest order is for the MRJ90 but can be optioned down to the 70. Not quite sure how that fits with the 9 month language. That would be a scope committee question. Reading it myself it seems they might be currently in violation. It's a question that should be asked.

I personally believe RJ scope concerns will move to the back burner on their own. And possibly sooner than currently envisioned. A little bird said that ongoing negotiations with BBD hinge on them taking back a bunch of smaller RJs early in return for other considerations in our C-Series buy.
Going forward, as we build up the lower gauge portion of our fleet with more efficient planes, outsourced RJ flying will become increasingly irrelevant.

Here is a "what if." SkyWest has the MRJ-90 on order......We all know the current configuration of them violates our scope clause.......What if the SkyWest version is "certified" within our scope clause limits? Would that still violate our scope or not?

They tried to build a scope compliant version of the 90 seater however they simply could not get under the weight limit. That version also had a range of about two blocks. The 70 seat version is compliant as long as you don't order the ER version.

Exception: If a carrier or an affiliate of a carrier that performs category A or C operations acquires an aircraft that would cause the Company to no longer be in compliance with the provisions of Section 1 D. 2. c., the Company will terminate such operations on the date that is the later of the date such aircraft is placed in revenue service, or nine months from the date that the Company first became aware of the potential acquisition.
i guess the statement "the later of" allows for the order. Operations would have to cease with SkyWest the day the aircraft enters service so they are currently legal.
