Times are very tough for the airline industry, but mainline leverage is only evaporated in bankruptcy. We negotiate directly with United, while the regional pilots deal with their subcontractors. United has announced that they plan to significantly reduce 50 seat lift. Going for large pay advances would be tough right now, but not protecting scope. Outside of bankruptcy, the only way to get any more big rj’s is to come through us. I’d call that leverage.
