Anyone think we'll see this TA by the weekend (tonight)

Either way we should definitely see it by Monday/Tuesday of next week right?
(7 days after TA was reached)

In the good news column... There's a Pei Wei in concourse F. The Kung pao is pretty good. Now if we could get a decent pay raise I might be able to eat there more than once a month

How long til those become a bad idea and we have to move the scope line to compensate for all of these bad ides? Sure we could say "oh but that won't happen!!"

Okay, but when the first "bad idea" showed up in the early 1990s I doubt this was on anyone's radar as a swap solution to the unprofitable "bad idea":

I agree completely...great post.

Exactly. Even if you guys cut ASMs in the process, moving DCI to larger equipment only sets a precedent for future contracts. After 255 76 seaters become uneconomical are you going to allow DCI to operate 170 717s for the same reason?

Is this the future of DCI?
255 76 seaters C2012
170 110 seaters C2017
120 150 seaters C2023
90 200 seaters C2028
