Honest question.....
The way UAL scope reads and the current XJT CPA, XJT has replacment rights to a certain amount of the larger RJs. If the full terms of the UAL scope are exercised, it would be a loss of approx 40 aircraft within 5 years on the L-XJT side. This is if they parked all the 50 seaters they possibily could and we saw no growth anywhere else. As i understand it, management is currently trying to figure out how to stay in the Delta Connection business long term now that PNCLs rates are so cheap. Both sides arent exactly in a rosey situation.
