I read that to say they can hire a whole set of separate pilots to fly them.
How about that!??
Yup. That language is not an accident or oversight.
Otherwise if UAL bought a UAX carrier they would be required by the other sections of the TA to merge the UAX seniority list with the mainline list and the mainline pilots don't want that happening. The UAL owned UAX carrier would still be subject to the normal scope limits for seating capacity and gross weight.
