That's a valid point. BUT...I'm assuming those additional planes would be flown by people already on the United/Continental list. You could use the argument that those would be furloughed recalls and theyd be happy to have "a" job back but it would regardless result in alot of people taking serious paycuts. I do agree that it belongs at the mainline but what makes the difference who does the flying as long as the crew is makin $50k and $18k? Airlines are looking to cut costs and increasing pay isn't gonna do that. I can't imagine them keeping that scope language that would completely eliminate several regionals from existance.
