JB wouldn’t have to give up anything. The 190 is already on the UAL payscale so if they wanted 100 seat flying on mainline they could do it, if not, dump them and you gain an Airbus fleet and lots of pilots.

It’s 2018, B scales are not coming back and UAL isn’t gonna try and pull anything funny if they were to acquire JB, they know they couldn’t get away with it.

I really think the scope thing is a non issue.
