Itsajob we traded away for promises not kept.

Scope is where it is because we negotiated our flying away over the years for various reasons, and of course they would love to be able to outsource more. The problem is that when it comes to the 76 seat rj’s, the horse is already out of the barn. At this point, where is the motivation for the company to put the horse back in the barn when it is cheaper to let someone else feed it? Unless we improve our scope language to further restrict the company, there isn’t that great of a financial argument to bring them in house. Everything United is more expensive.....pilots, mechanics, flight attendants, training, maintenance, etc. I think bringing the flying in house to prevent furloughs would be great for us, and gaining quality control of the product would be good for the company. The problem is that the cost exceed the benefit. If it’s cheaper to furlough and outsource, they have no reason not to follow that path.
