UAL has never been one to own their feed anyway. THey didn't follow AMR and DAL down that road. THey would rather farm it out to the lowest bidder. Pit 6 or 7 carriers against each other...lowest bid wins. DAL would have been smart to do the same....as they are now. How much did they pay for Comair? ASA? How did that work out for them? This section allows UAL to buy a feeder without the flying being considered "company flying". Meaning UNITED flying. It says right in the paragraph that the flying will have to comply with 1.C.1 - our scope section covering UAX. It is amazing how all us forum experts think we are smarter than SMEs and lawyers Alpa pays good money for.
