This is 100% wrong. Our scope has very defined limits, and the only way the company can increase those limits is by adding a new small narrow body a/c (CS, ERJ, etc.) and even then they can only add one new RJ to the limit for every 4 additional aircraft of the NSNB category.
UAL is completely scoped out and the two a/c found to be in violation of our scope is going to cost them.
