Mainline vs Reg. Block Hour Ratio....YES, more than you realize, I GET IT. What you failing to factor into the equation (convenient or otherwise) is the airframe size AS WELL. I for one refuse to allow Mgt/Marketing to "have the cake and eat it too" as far as the size of airframe that they choose to outsource. They've had their way with that, and that is gonna stop. Why are you refusing to acknowledge the airframe size in ADDITION to the Ratio?
You can attempt to spin it any which way, but when L-UA Pilots got gutted on the SCOPE topic, don't expect the airframe size to be compromised (or allow Marketing to run free) on letting Block Hour Ratio rule the roost as solo protection.....again, DONT buy it.
