Yes ramprat (Awesome name), I do know how blended rates work! 
PSA pilots fly the CRJ 200,700,900 for the same cheap rate as the CRJ200. That's why I said send Eagle 700 to psa since they wont ask for more money to fly bigger airplanes... 
Give us the Eagle 700s, I guarantee you we wont fly them for Dash 8 rates
We wont undercut I brothers the way PSA did to piedmont for the original crj200.

Here's the solution to your staffing issue. Send Eagles 47 CRJ700 to PSA remove the 35 CRJ200 from PSA fleet no negotiation needed since they fly them for free under a blended rate. Place the 60 E175 on Eagle certificate with negotiated new rates and contract improvements. Place PDT pilot group on Eagle/PSA list to help staff their fleet. As the E175 come in remove the Dash from the system. By 2016/17 no more CRJ 200 for PSA and no more Dash 8 no more Piedmont.

Actually, at a state of the airline like a year ago, Kirby did say the 50 seaters are, in fact, dirt cheap to lease. Makes sense; they are ubiquitous and aren't very fuel efficient. That lower lease cost probably takes some of the sting out of the higher fuel bill.
I doubt you'll see the reduction in 50 seaters come from PSA...more likely Air Wis and since they already said so, Envoy.
What do we think is gonna happen at our meeting with AAG next week?

Is that the fleet planning meeting?
AAG wants us to fight each other, they think that one will stab the other two in the back to keep their costs low. Unfortunately to this point they've been correct.

PDT Future
The next two days will determine PDT's fate. If AAG does not try to re fleet PDT, it's all over boys and girls. Walk away, run away, fly away, swim away. PDT is very poorly manage and will continue to be as long as current management is in place. 25 years ago is not how you run an airline today. Someone or many need to be remove from their command.
