JCBA is the only opportunity to reduce past and present outsourcing. 50 seaters havent made money for quite sometime, old and a bad product and suspect they will be reduced. SW, JB make money keeping flying in-house and we need to do the same. Have heard the company wants larger jets for higher yields and 1st class etc...if we want recalls get 90+ seaters on the new UAL seniority list...SCOPE is the key
As far as scope, watch very carefully what happens with APA, AMR and The Judge. Better hope the 90 seater doesn't go to the regional side. This has to be on the radar at UCAL mgmt and is waiting to see what happens.
