It’s not like the flying would be replaced overnight. If United were to buy a bunch of 100 seat jets, or even bring the 70ish seat jets that it owns over to mainline, they would simply hire off of the street to staff them. There is a crazy long line of people wanting to work here. It shouldn’t be a problem.
