I still think you are missing my point, in our contract there are 2,700 pilots furlough protected, it will be interesting how this company can shut down Eagle in a short period of time and violate SCOPE while they are profitable to include Eagle. Management is not saying Eagle isn't profitable, they are making arguments that come 2015 when Delta does their adjustments they will be at a disadvantage. There is more here than just one group taking a few airplanes. I fully see AirWisky jumping in the picture soon specially as the slots in DCA and LGA are sold and also PDT as they park airframes, But there is much more than just swapping airplanes around. I have seen management violate contract provision on a daily basis so I don't know how well a furlough protection would pan out but it's something that is there and has to be accounted for.
United's new scope is once the maximum number of (71-76) seat regional aircraft is reached (223) the maximum limit of 50 seat regional jets will have been capped down to 125. This is what would provide the Hard-Cap of 450 Regional Aircraft. Before they hit the limit of 223 70-seaters:
For the first 10 aircraft above 153 (71-76) seat aircraft,United must reduce by 27 (50) seat aircraft.
For the next 10 (71-76) aircraft above 163, United must reduce by an additional 28 (50) seat aircraft.
For the next 10 (71-76) aircraft above 173, United must reduce by an additional 29 (50) seat aircraft.
For the next 10 (71-76) aircraft above 183, United must reduce by an additional 30 (50) seat aircraft.
For the next 20 (71-76) aircraft above 193, United must reduce by an additional 62 (50) seat aircraft.
For the next 10 (71-76) aircraft above 213, United must reduce by an additional 46 (50) seat aircraft.
I'm not arguing about your furlough protection, I'm talking solely about whether the flying could be replaced. My initial post was to regards to somone's post regarding 1400 flights a day not being able to be replaced. Besides when has any airline management actually followed a legally binding contract.
