Doesn't United scope currently allow for unlimited 70 seaters?
Talk about hurting the industry

Our 70 seaters are tied to the size of mainline on the UAL side. The CAL side has industry leading scope for a legacy carrier.
So....I guess you don't know what you're talking about.
We could have gotten a pay raise a long time ago if we were willing to accept your current scope. Our CEO told us that we didn't get a contract quick like Delta since UAL pilots aren't as "helpful" as DAL pilots.
