United capacity to effect regional partners?
Any thoughts on if United's announcement of a 4% capacity cut in winter will affect it's regional partners?
From what I read it seems to be directed at older mainline jets and some 50 seat RJs. I'm new to this stuff but can't imagine they can just walk away suddenly from agreements with regionals. Wouldn't that take time and if they did couldn't the affected regional find flying elsewhere?
Certainly hope that won't be the case for everyones sake involved. This industry is indeed a non stop roller coaster. I guess you just get used to it or get off the ride.
