HuggyU2,
There is a smarter answer than requiring 6 seats to be pulled off of 76 seat aircraft: Put United Pilots back in the front 2 seats.
United Airlines would rather pull those seats and furlough pilots than let them fly any United's 76 seat aircraft. Insourcing is the smarter answer, pulling the seats and furloughing pilots is the refusal to accept that answer.
