I think he’s just saying that to reduce the negative analyist comments because of anounced growth next three years.
The only way I see The MEC agreeing to any more 70/76 seaters and then the pilots is if it’s flown by UAL mainline pilots at a mainline size appropriate rate, additionally with scope protections to prevent loss of 737 and Airbus flying. Otherwise no deal and a much longer traditional section 6 negotiating cycle.
