Chip,
After reading your post''s on this subject, I did a little more research. And I''ve got to tell ya that I''ll be very surprised if UALPA is able to keep the 700''s, I mean 705''s from going to where ever it is that Mgt plans on putting them.
The following is a description of the CRJ700 Series from the Bombardier website:
Aircraft Description
The Bombardier CRJ700 Series is powered by two General Electric CF34-8C engines. While the advanced CF34-8C powerplants are more powerful, they are also more fuel-efficient than the engines on the Bombardier CRJ200.
The Bombardier CRJ700 Series comes in two sizes. The Bombardier CRJ700 Series 701 seats 64 to 70 passengers. The Bombardier CRJ700 Series 705 seats 75 passengers in a spacious two-class cabin.
When you consider the high cruise speed of Mach 0.825 and range of up to 2,000 nm, it becomes apparent why the Bombardier CRJ700 Series, with its room for 20-25 additional passengers, offers operators such a significant reduction in seat-mile operating costs.
Airlines also appreciate the high degree of commonality with the existing Bombardier CRJ aircraft, which allows for the operation of a mixed fleet of aircraft. In addition to sharing a common pool of pilots, airlines benefit from additional savings through common maintenance, ground support equipment, spare parts and customer support.
If you notice above that Bombardier states there are TWO types of 700''s. The 701 and the 705. Which are both CRJ700''s. There is no regular CRJ700. And according to your agreement the CRJ 700 is allowed to be flown at the WO''s and/or Affiliate Carriers. Now considering the wording of the aggreement and that the CRJ700-705 also meets the weight restrictions I just don''t see how UALPA will be able to get these planes to the Mainline. Do you?
