I'm sure that the size of the network EV has is appealing but there's no reason a mixture of OO/C5/ZW couldn't cover it. The same could be said of any of us really...
but the name of the game now is supposedly cost cutting, correct? Why not try to get c5 down to $4 or $3. United is bleeding cash, there is no way Kirby would pass over an opportunity to bend over a pilot group.
