Check Airman’s notes from Kirby at last weeks standards meeting.

“Hubs getting fuller...space will be had by getting rid of RJs over the next few years...EWR to go to only ~50 RJs/day by few yrs.

• DEN will be biggest hub shortly and fastest grower

• IAD will double in size

• SFO LAX constrained ( getting gates at new terminal 9 alax)

• ORD constrained till AMR shrinks there (and he thinks they will soon)

• 80% chance of new crew base in.......”a warm state” ( that’s all he’d say😏 ) announce probably eoy

• RJ end game probably 250 76 seaters and 50 or so 550s.....no 50 seaters.

• JetBlue spirit and JFK slots”

From Zackary Shapiro (crew resources) same meeting.

“We r not going back to normal”.....we’re a different airline, so...

• Monthly flying minimizes in Feb, maxes in July then Sep to Dec it’s between peak and trough

• United “Next” will be peak all year plus!

• CREW BASES...presently looking at new bases...due to not new or extra flying but to add to the United Next growth plan

• Large non hub spokes w many RON and transiting pilots...and the old considerations of RON $ and min # lines etc....new paradigm brings new needs
• BOS MCO TPA FLL PHX VEGAS SAN SEA (zip code search) RESEARCH ONLY NOT TO BE ASSUMED!!
