The only question is what to do about the 50 + 1 seat aircraft currently in the UAL system.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want this to happen either, but how do you suppose the genie is put back in the bottle? While the tone of my post is accusatory, and I apologize for that, how can mainline pilots draw a line in the sand when half of their flying is already outsourced? You cannot effectively strike. Large RJ's already mirror the domestic routes. There would be little disruption in service to passengers or the execs pocketbook.
I know what this means for the business, and I do not like it, but no union is strong enough to stop it. for now anyway
