Bombardier has agreed to extend the delivery schedule of US Airways’ regional jets by a year and convert an order for twenty-three 50-seat CRJ200s to positions on 70-seat CRJ700s, now scheduled to enter service with wholly owned subsidiary PSA Airlines through March 2006.

PSA pilot representatives agreed to a scope-clause change to allow for more 70-seaters at the airline in exchange for an extension of the so-called Jets for Jobs protocol to extend to PSA’s CRJ700s. As with the airline’s 50-seat jets, PSA must now staff half of all 70-seat RJ positions with furloughed mainline pilots.
