More details for all the drooling regional folks out there:
The NWA MEC sent out an email basically saying the in order to keep the mainline flying, mainline will have to give up 70 seaters. Big surprise huh. Promises of mainline flying bigger RJ's (90 seaters) basically just sugar to make the medicine go down.
36- 70 seat RJ's to replace AVRO's, bidders in contention, Pinnacle (not likely from NWA VP), Mesaba ( bid was way high unless they get the paycuts) and Mesa. Bid was supposidely 14% lower than the lowest. Obvious here say, just repeating what I was told.
Up to 50 more, with ratios for mainline and replacement of 50 seaters.
some sort of deal were furloughed mainline guys have to get the right to fly Captain of any plane bought initially by NWA, yadda yadda yadda. sound familiar, US AIR, Midatlantic? Mesa will screw us and they will get the 70 seat flying for NWA. That will put 3/400 airlink guys on the street.
