United doesn’t want 50 seaters but has and will continue to have space in scope for more of them than 70 seaters. United pilots won’t budge on scope which means unless there is bankruptcy don’t expect any scope relief. What United wants and what they will get will be 2 different things. They will be forced to fly 50 seaters unless they start to fly a lot more NBs.
