That may be why the ratio is 90% for UAL. Until the SLI is complete, "CAL's" aircraft deliveries can't be flown by "UAL's" pilots.
Of course Litigator Smisek is not honoring our scope clause so why would we expect him to honor the TPA or merger and fragmentation sections of our scope clause.
The other rumor I have recently heard is that IAH-NRT will be going to a 747 soon.
