In order to do that, new routes need time to be available for future bookings. If they waited until the JCBA is done, the routes would take even longer to become available, if that is the case with scope.
I'm not saying either way what the reason is, this seems to be the simpler answer IMO.
I'm guessing the scope proposal is something along the lines of "70 seat aircraft flown by UAL pilots when capacity purchase agreements expire, block hour protections.....yada, yada". So the company sees that worst case they have the outsourced feed for the duration of the current CPA's.
Not saying I like it, but based on the context I've heard those "in the know" talk about it. I'm betting that's what's proposed.
