My guess is we (UAL) are interested in getting financing on new aircraft, or something to that effect and investors like long term stability, our management is predicting much better future profitability so better to negotiate now. They will probably try to offer modest tweaks and pay increases on same contract. Any scope relief or changes is just pure pilot speculation and our union is not open to giving wide scope relief for a few bucks. Plus realistically there isn't a regional that can staff as it is, who would we give rjs too anyway? I've jumpseated on you guys several times, great crews I hope you guys get this contract nailed!
