This is a move to increase the amount of 76 seaters per the scope clause in the UAL contract...not purely to take flying back. UAL pilots have the power to vote in a new contract that further reduces outsourced flying and further reduces regional feed, more so than extending this current contract does, which is what we really need, but that won't happen. Extending this contract and allowing more 76 seaters on property isn't really helping us all that much. Fewer total regional jets should be the goal of every 121 pilot. Reginald need to shrink, not grow.
The more larger regional jets that are allowed to be outsourced (what this contact extension allows for), the longer the regional c scale will exist and the longer we will be underpaid.
