There is no way United is going to make changes to the CPA. United wants to get rid of 50 seaters. It's business. If your business is losing money, you don't throw more money at it just to make the pilots happy in a feel good moment. You have to make tough choices to help reduce the loss and right the ship. Nobody is hoping you guys are all out of a job, nobody is hoping that you guys get stapled to the bottom of our seniority list. But we can no longer tolerate the excessive losses that are attributed to the L-XJ side of the operation. There are no good solutions or no answers that will make everyone happy, but the losses can't be sustained.
We are all well aware that the 50 seat airplane is being reduced. Although United doesn't seem to be in a rush to get rid of them. You fail to see that you also have 50 seat airplanes. You also fail to see that when one airline owned by Inc loses money, it also affects you. You are not immune to the negative effects of poor business management. No matter how much you'd like to think so bc your airline's name shares the name of the holding company that owns you. If I were you, I'd be directing your concerns towards your management. Which is different from ours and Inc. You are also just a piece of the pie that is viewed only as dollar signs. Not equals, as you may think. This could have a negative impact on that side of the operation as well. Inc issues one single financIal report, not separate. So if Inc looses money, everyone should be concerned. As others said too, there are no publicly and legal numbers published numbers for the separate sides. So no one really knows for sure what is going on. Let's not forget the wipsaw game that has been and continues to be played as is evident currently.
