No restrictions. In fact, UCH has taken delivery of 25+ 737s this year. They just won't be able to get more RJs. And that's fine.

Actually they can buy as many RJ's as they want..... as long as UAL pilots fly them!!!
The "ALPA won't let us have more aircraft" spewed by management is a total lie. Every major can fly as many E-145 to E-175 or CRJ-100 up to CRJ-1000's as they want... It's completely unlimited; they just can't do it (more than present #
down to 450 at UAL and DAL) without pilots from the major in the cockpits.
Hold the line, take back more when we see the opportunity.
