The riot should be, and I hope will be, at CAL and UAL over Scope! The words "Operated by" should no longer part of the boarding announcement for ANY future UAL flight. UAL pilots should be in both seats.
As far as the "riots" at SKYW go, CRJs it is.
The only thing we are holding our breath over is JCBA SCOPE!
Hope you understand why,

Don't get me wrong, I want no part of the CAL flying, I don't want to see anyone displaced from their current domicile (SKYW, or XJET), at the same time I don't want to see our F/O's passed over for the jet slot that they have the seniority for. The majority of the UAL pilots that I've flown with here have a great attitude, but even they are waiting for their jet slot (those that expected it day one already left the second class). It would be a tough pill to swallow even for them if they got passed over by a new-hire.
All I am saying is: Don't expect new hires to go into the jet.
