The United pilots don't need anyone's convincing. The majority that I know and have spoken to about scope have a VERY strong desire to recapture ALL seats above 50. I have even heard the position that perhaps the existing 70 seater's working for United would be allowed to stay for a short time and removed from service (for United) as the express contracts expire. This would give United time to place it's own 70 seat and above jets into the markets.
