1-C-1-g Number of 76-Seat Aircraft
If the Company adds New Small Narrowbody aircraft to the Company Fleet, then on or after January 1, 2016, the number of permitted 76-Seat Aircraft may increase from 153 (as permitted under Section 1-C-1-a-(2)-(c)) up to a total of 223 76-Seat Aircraft, and the number of permitted 76/70-Seat Aircraft may increase from 255 (as permitted under Section 1-C-1-a-(2)-(c)) up to a total of 325 76/70-Seat Aircraft, except that once the number of 76/70-Seat Aircraft exceeds 255, then the number of 70-Seat Aircraft may not be more than 102. 76-Seat Aircraft (above 153 such Aircraft) may be added on a one 76-Seat Aircraft for each one and one quarter New Small Narrowbody Aircraft (1:1.25) ratio (rounded to the closest integer). In addition, in the event more than 153 76-Seat Aircraft are in United Express Flying, the Company shall remove from United Express Flying a number of 50-Seat Aircraft determined as follows:
1. “FSFC” is the number of 50-Seat Aircraft in United Express Flying on the date that the 154th 76-Seat Aircraft enters United Express Flying.
2. Subtract 125 from FSFC.
3. Divide the number resulting from step 2 by seventy (70). This results in a factor “X” rounded to the second decimal place.
4. For each 76-Seat Aircraft added to United Express Flying above 153, remove from United Express Flying a number of 50-Seat Aircraft no less than X, with the resulting number of 50-Seat Aircraft to be removed, rounded to the closest integer.
5. Example 1: If the number of 50-Seat Aircraft in United Express Flying is 334, then FSFC-125 equals 209; when 209 is divided by seventy (70), then X = 2.99 6. Example 2: If the number of 50-Seat Aircraft in United Express Flying is 488, then FSFC-125 equals 363; when 363 is divided by seventy (70), then X = 5.19.
For the phrase “rounded to the closest integer,” in step 4, the values .1 to .4 shall be rounded down to the next lower whole number and the values .5 to .9 shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number.
1-C-1-g-(1) If on January 1, 2016, or any succeeding January 1 thereafter, the number of 50-Seat Aircraft in United Express Flying exceeds the maximum permitted number, the Company shall require United Express Carriers that engage in United Express Flying to suspend or cease operations on a sufficient number of 50-Seat Aircraft or 76-Seat Aircraft to comply with these requirements within sixty (60) days and to remain in compliance thereafter. The Company shall be excused from compliance with the provisions of this Section 1-C-1-g-(1) in the event a Circumstance Beyond the Company's Control is the cause of such non-compliance
1-C-1-h Effect of Furlough
If a Pilot on the Seniority List with an employment date prior to the date of signing of this Agreement is placed on furlough, the Company shall convert all 76-Seat Aircraft for operation as 70-Seat Aircraft. The number of such aircraft shall continue to be limited as though they were being operated as 76-Seat Aircraft. The Company may again commence operating such Aircraft as 76-Seat Aircraft effective on the date that the most junior Pilot protected by the first sentence of this Section 1-C-1-h is recalled from furlough.
1-C-1-i United Express Carrier Branding
Aircraft operated in United Express Flying may bear the Company's logo or aircraft livery only if such aircraft bear the name United Express or similar name connoting a connection with United Airlines (but such United Express Flying operations may not be conducted under the name United Airlines or other names used by the Company).
1-C-1-j Hiring of Furloughed Pilots
Pursuant to Letter of Agreement LOA 11, no Domestic United Express Carrier which does not comply with the requirements of Letter of Agreement LOA 11 with respect to the hiring of furloughed United Pilots may operate 70-Seat Aircraft or 76-Seat Aircraft.
