If United's management can't figure out how to do it without pilot scope concessions, then United's management needs to be replaced.
Let's stop making excuses for United management's incompetence on being able to profitably fly with a cap on RJs.
Delta has the A220 because they got a great deal and they think that it fits their network. United has said that they don’t fit ours. Each airline has different hubs, route structure, cost structure, revenue generating ability, etc. Delta seems to think that they will work for them, American is wanting to get rid of them, and United isn’t even interested. It isn’t always about better management. It’s possible that they could work here, but it’s also possible that just adding more little 737’s or 319’s would work better. We only get to set the hourly rate, we have no control over what the company decides to buy.
