Why a doctors note for child care? Or an upset stomach?
Seems there are plenty of things the FAA deems disqualifying that do not require a docs note.

Okay, say you are correct and the company doesn't pass up the 88 717's. We are still in negotiations for a new contract now and probably for the next year or two. Company takes delivery of 88 aircraft the maxes out the 76 seaters allowed under the old contract (I can't remember how many but well more than is allowed now.)
Then dumps the 757's.... and trades in the 50 seaters for the new 76'ers at DCI (kinda like they've done). We are now in 2015 with a possible new contract and way more 76 seaters than allowed now. Plus no cap on total RJ's and no ratio.
You cannot have it both ways. Like you said, the Company doesn't make many stupid financial decisions.

So Option A, the one we approved, was a pilot funded pilot raise in exchange for 70-more 76 seaters and a quick way out of some poorly thought out 50-seater contracts.

What's a pilot-funded-pilot-raise? It's where you agree to a raise in exchange for scope concession, productivity increases and decreased profit sharing:

Hi, folks. Can you talk a little bit about how you’re going to afford that new pilot contract?
Richard Anderson
Hi, Mary Jane, this is Richard. Sorry for not saying hello. When you look at the overall value that we’re going to create as a result of unlocking the ability to refleet plus the productivity that has been built into that agreement, we’re confident that it will be an important part of our ability to get to unit cost over the next couple of years to improve our margins and our return on invested capital.

And, Mary Jane, this is Ed. One additional thing, we also reduced the profit sharing going forward and that’s an important part of helping to fund that cost growth.
Mary Jane Credeur - Bloomberg News
Sure. Okay. Thank you.

So, as of right now, without drinking any Koolaid, we will hire 166 pilots for all of 2013/2014?
