Yup, if the goal is to shrink back to premerger size.. OR as you say, they can get rid off 117 WB airplaness and fly B757 to Hong kong with multiple fuel stops along the way from the US...I hear that premium passengers love that.
Besides, the jobs provision (sect 7B) of the transition agreement does NOT expire.....So shrink L-UAL out of existence and then HAVE to hire all the "happily" displaced L-UAL employees, yup that would be a fun place to work, passengers would love that.I hear that the L-CAL contract scheduling sections has much more flexibility, so maybe L-CAL can just pick up the slack... Yes there is one idea that the few 120 hours per month Wh0res would welcome. Can't wait.!
