End of 2013 Fleet Plan-

CRJ7 = 115
E170 = 38
Total = 185
Therefore, based on the 30 + 40 Large RJ's Ordered..
All can be placed on Property.
Also, these are current numbers.
Not sure how old the oldest CRJ7's and E170's are. There could always be the possibility of swapping out on that level too.
Not to mention, these new RJ's are set to arrive 1Q2014 and go out to 2014/2016.
No matter how you try to paint this, this is good for the company and bad for the mainline UAL Pilot.
It is also bad for the RJ Pilot in that it allows all the RJ Carriers to start fighting amongst themselves for these aircraft.. especially if they are replacement aircraft (to some degree) for 50 seaters.
This aircraft hold 40% more passengers than a 50 seater... what sort of payscale will it pay when compared to a 50 seater?
The RJ Carriers Management will try to entice the newbies with quick upgrades and a signing bonus (with a payback clause if you leave early). Maybe/Hopefully the top end of the list will get hired somewhere (to start at the bottom and be furlough fodder come 2017 and beyond). The mid level will move up.. but to what payscale and work rules? The bottom guys will be happy to be flying a nice new big shiny jet (SJS).
But in the end, it sucks for us all... except for management (if they don't do the right thing and treat their employees with Dignity and Respect)

PS> What ever happened to the issue with UAX employees having to start paying a non rev fee? Did that go away or did the outrage just die?
