The union put out a slide in one of their video Q&A sessions discussing the scope deal. Pre-COVID, UAX usually ran around 80-90% mainline block hours. That is because they were scoped out on 70/76 seaters and United only wanted so many 50 seaters. With United flying a full schedule, the allowable big rj’s and 50 seaters didn’t ring the bell. Since all of this hit, the regionals have ripped the bell off of the wall. In the last few months UAX flying has far exceeded United, and had the plan been in effect, the scope restrictions would have kicked in. Now that the TA has passed (providing that UAX is at 40% 2019 levels), UAX can’t exceed mainline block hours. Going forward UAX hours will have to be reduced, United hours increased to a level above UAX, or a combination of the two so that UAX levels don’t exceed that of United.
