I seem to remember some pretty significant concessions to secure the Avro's. The offending document was called LOA-15 and it didn't hide the fact that your FO's were sold down the river for the promise of some big shiny jets. Those Avro's were direct replacement for Northwest DC-9-10's.
OK, good point on LOA 15.
You have been around for quite some time and I know you know your facts, but I could argue just as good aurgument that the Avro was let on property by the NWA guys via their 69 seat scope, that the Avro did not replace some DC-9 flying and so on.
But with that said Doin Time, I can also aurgue the opposing view pretty well also. But that aurgument would not entail selling the FO down the river. What it entails is that we would have been undercutting other carriers for their flying.
