another reason was until recently UA outsourced a larger % of their domestic flying vs bringing it in house on the 717 and 220. But I would absolutely rather have those planes on property vs that flying outsourced to RJs.
If the percentage of WB goes up now it doesn't have any effect on our pay rates going up either. I'm not following this line of thinking. And of course, I'd rather have all Delta flying be flown by at least 2 Delta well rested pilots.
As to your other point, maybe I'm missing something but once it all shakes out, there will still be choices that people make based on the flying they like. Pilots will still be able to choose the less attractive flying and instead be senior elsewhere. There will still be factors such as destinations, computability, aircraft preferences and bases, not to mention choosing to stay longer in the right seat.
