Please correct me if I'm wrong I don't know much about United's Scope.
I'm sorry if it's been asked before, but what is the current limiting factor on UAL's 70 seat scope? Is it total airframes flying UAL code, a ratio of 70 seaters to UAL fleet numbers, block hours, total segments, total departures, amount of seats in the system, etc?

Gulfstream doesn't fly turbojet equipment, let alone the 70 seat kind. Does UAL's current scope have language dealing with turboprops?
