It hasn’t changed. UA wanted to use those JS’s EXCLUSIVELY for UA’s FA’s. Republic said we can use them for YX’s FA’s as well. United didn’t like that and this went on back and forth to a final agreement of not allowing those seats to be used at all. So I’m sure you don’t need to take note, but this is how United’s management operates towards the second largest regional pilot group operating their UAX brand with the highest performance numbers, producing a large chunk of their profits.
