Also, it would work if the first duty period were a deadhead only duty period, as that would not be an FDP and would not require the 10 hours of prospective rest under the FAR.

I suspect the RFP is going to be almost exactly what the company stated. They want around 50 widebodies with deliveries to start in late 2017. The airframes are planned as replacements not growth. The only thing I see changing is if the rest of the whales are parked they might take delivery of some airframes sooner.

You completely omit the most important fact. In business the most important thing is your cost structure relative to your competitors. Lose control of your costs and you will lose the business. The NMB believes he above and regardless of what you believe we have to work through the NMB to get a contract. Those who have ignored that fact have had zero success.

This isn't a north versus south thing tsquare. It's a simple case of the majority of our current reps do NOT want pay restoration. They prefer partnership and cooperation.
It's not badmouthing them, it's a simple statement of fact. A majority of them truly believe that cooperation with management is more important than restoration, or defending our scope language.
We'll never know because DPA won't be the bargaining agent for C2015. This conversation is about our current union and our current reps.

Mid May RA said "don't be surprised if the WB order is much larger than previously announced" a mix of 350/33N/773/789

A majority of our reps don't want restoration because management doesn't want restoration. Since our reps prefer a partnership and cooperation, they're simply agreeing with management's vision.
