Instead of *****ing on who is bought who I encourage you guys to read up on the Delta and United SCOPE clauses and how Delta has to park 50 seaters but has set up it's wholly owned regional for possible hiring and not returning the CRJ 200 on property that are the newest and likely the cheapest leases as well and maintenance. Also the fact that SKW got 40 large RJs, Mesa got 30 and the 32 Q400s count against the United SCOPE. United currently is maxed out on airframes as it has around 185 70 seaters with 70 76 coming along. That puts them close to the 255 limit, they can grow these numbers out only after 2016 and many 50 seaters must go.

Stop fighting within and fight for what you are worth, if the EXJ pilots contract is what is causing the airline to lose money then management has a problem outside the slightly above average contract at EXJ. Stop buying into their game and do your homework, your pay and QOL depend on it.
