Second, JCBA that makes us all say great. Third, SLI that is best for all. Arbitrator will decide this I think.
Regionals have no direct input to this merger; this is not your battle. As a 10000+ pilot group, we do and we need to crush scope creep and get a great contract.
i know i'm contradicting your wishes simply by replying, but hey, it's a free internet. but i do have a serious question...i am just making sure that i understand it correctly. you mentioned "70 seats and above". but these planes are 66 seats. is it that they are certified for 70 seats? is that what you mean? i'm not being sarcastic, i'm asking sincerely. i've heard that the "new united" wants 51+ seats flown by united pilots, which would of course include the 66 seat planes.
