Getting mainline 100-seaters protects us from further outsourcing down the road so obliging the company would be detrimental United pilot job security and options especially at the bottom of the list.
Ok after reading this 5 times I think I know where you're going. No chance in HE// that our MEC is going to allow used A319's or 737's to increase the number of E175's at express. It's one of the basic fundamental tenants of our Section 1. The company's offer includes a firm order for some sort of C100/300, E190/195. Or maybe the Superjet or MRJ. It's NOT the A319 or 737 used market.
