Under the new LOA, can you drop any RSV day you want if the staffing is ok, or must you stay within the PBS building criteria of on/off day blocks?

There is a famous Auburn-Alabama game called the PUNT BAMA PUNT game. Where Auburn blocked 3 punts in the 4th quarter and won the game.
Now we have Auburn fans screaming PUNT AUBURN PUNT!

Just to be clear, it's 255 RJs with 51-76 seats and it doesn't matter how big the mainline fleet gets, that number is fixed.
The number of 71-76 seat RJs ("76" seat)is currently 153 and can go up based on the mainline fleet exceeding 767 airframes, but only so long as the aggregate number of 51-76 seat jets doesn't exceed 255.
Why is that important, because most "70" seat RJs are configured with 65 seats and more importantly, the number of "70" + "76" seat RJs is already scheduled to reach 255. Therefore, if the number of "76" seat RJs ever is allowed to exceed 153 (mainline above 767 aircraft) the company has to park a "70" seat jet for each "76" seat jet it adds.
It's important that we understand this subtle difference. 255 is a hard number. Let management trade 70 seaters for 76 seaters if they like, but let's not go in thinking that 255 is subject to change based on the size of the mainline fleet, it's not. Unless of course they are flown by a mainline pilots, in which case they can have as many as they like.

255 better not be a firm number. It better be reduced significantly.*
*unless we fly them, then they can have a million of them.

Duly noted, but 255 large RJ's is WAY too much. If those were flown by our pilots, it would be one of the biggest categories on the property. Thousands of pilot jobs not only removed from our list, but done so in a way that directly causes negative wage and benefit pressures all over our contract.

+1.
It's estimated 30 million was lost when SC took the safety at Miss St at the end of the game to run out the clock. Up 4 points with a 3.5 spread and 4 seconds left. I'll take a road win, but.........

Travelnet
Does anybody know why I can't search flight in and out of MSP next weekend on travelnet? Oddly, I can search flights out of any other city too. I saw the non-rev warning issued about flying out of MSP next weekend due to heavy loads but I've never seen them shutoff the search function for one city.
