All that with 25% lower pay(DAL TA will make UCAL 40% behind).
Thanks to UCAL for pulling their weight and helping raise the bar!
Who put pressure on whom?
But doesn't UAL have a prohibition against even one jet over 70 seats?
It's a tough call, but I think 70 seat jets will soon be the economic choke-hold to companies that the 50 seat RJ is now. They will likely die on the vine, just a little later than the 50 seaters. What's worse, UAL allowing an unlimited number of dying jets, or DAL allowing 325 modern efficient 90 seat jets (currently configured to 76 seats)?
