Our JV scope is already tight. How about try the buy a SNB, more mainline jobs, less out sourcing and a few more RJ’s. There’s too many pilots at UA that suffered career progression with the proliferation of RJ’s. They were furloughed while the regionals grew.
Then there’s group that spent 10+ yrs flying RJ’s for crap wages/work rules.

No but for UA to unlock more large RJ’s they need to add a new SNB type (A220/E195)
