Basically there are unlimited amounts of 70 seaters and 50 seaters allowed, plus a certain amount of 76 seaters, depending on how many mainline planes we had on the property this last January 1st. Any new planes we get will allow 3 extra 76 seaters too (per Delta mainline plane). I think the max number of 76 seat planes allowed as of Jan 1st---were 15 76 seaters this year. From what I have heard a lot of these 76 seaters will be traded one for one with existing 50 seaters which have become unprofitable. As far as who gets to fly what, that is up to Delta. They just awarded Pinnacle 19 CR9s, and Comair 14 CR9s. Skywest flies quite a few of them now too. If Delta wanted to fly the CR9s with more than 76 seats, they would have to be flown by mainline pilots, and we actually have pay rates for mainline CR9s if they ever wanted to do that.

Scope has unlimited 50 or less seaters......up to 200 (hard number) 70 and 76 seaters throughout the life of the contract.....they were allowed 15 76 seaters for 2007 and then 15 more per year. They can add more 76 seaters for a 1 for 3 mainline addition. There was a mainline fleet snapshot taken on January 1 2007 and that is the starting point.
The ugly thing about this is we are getting old 757's with winglets and they get to add 3 brand-new jets per 757.....
Anyone furloughed and the 76 seaters become 70 seaters until the furloughees return.
The operating number is 200 70+ seaters.....IMHO, this is where they will ask for relief in the next section 6...............As they say in Sparta, "THIS IS WHERE WE FIGHT" (not that my pilot group has done much of that).
