Is there much route overlap at UCon? I'm just wondering how much shrinkage they might see when all is said and done. A lot of our shrinkage since the merger was not due to route overlap, but rather the Euro Economy going into the crapper, causing the cutbacks in ER flying.
I've not been paying much attention to what's going on behind the scenes at UCal but it seems CAL is hiring and Untied is recalling, is that just to replace retirements, or are they adding flying too, now that they are finally going to be getting the 787.
Are they parking any 'old' planes as those 787's arrive?
