Again, where does it say that this can't be done under the CAL scope clause if they are operated as strictly UAL/UAX flights? I agree that the circumstances have changed, but if they aren't operated as CO flights I can't find where this violates the scope clause in the CAL pilot contract.
I'm not talking about the awesome, kick a** scope clause that the New United pilots are going to get with the contract coming in the future.
