Heck, maybe take airframes from some of our non owned contractors like SkyWest or Republic and fly them pseudo “in-house” with enhanced flow-through/seniority opportunity at Mainline UAL while also providing furlough protection for our most susceptible first officers whom might need a place to call home for a year or so beginning this Fall.
Don’t forget that United owns 20ish percent of Republic as well.
