I'm surprised the new UAL management made this move. Talk about stirring up the hornets nest! This has just strengthened the resolve of ALL the new UAL pilots to at the very least eliminate the 70 seat flying from our regional feed. It has served as a unifying entity for both pilot groups... I can't imagine that was managements intent.
You are right, I had completely forgotten that Skywest is non union as I wrote that post. I guess its all up to Continental and United pilots to get that scope in the contract! Stay unified, and get all your pilots back on property!
