So much of the domestic flying has been farmed out to feeder carriers for the legacy carriers the future at mainline isn't as bright as it was. We want to bring that flying in house. Do you think that bringing that flying in house will happen with the current number of mainline pilots carriers have? NO. It will require hiring more pilots onto the seniority list. No one is looking to *******w the small-jet pilots. We want to protect and enhance our careers and give opportunities for all of you to be part of that.
There are over 2,000 pilots furloughed from United. If regional pilots were grouped in to mainline pilots, where would the furloughed pilots go......below the regional guys???
