United pilots will allow a furlough before scope is relaxed, but I doubt that we’d vote to fly 50 seaters for that kind of pay. Those things have been living on borrowed time anyway. They are old, there is no replacement, and the customers don’t like them. If United pilots allowed more E175’s there would already be far less 50 seaters in the UAX fleet, but that isn’t the case. This deal simply accelerated the timeline.
I doubt anyone will be flying 50 seaters for much longer.

United wouldn’t want to sell an asset to a competitor to be used against them. That would be like selling arms to your enemy during a war just to make a buck. They could potentially sell them to some foreign company though.

I don’t know. The 50 seaters were approaching the end of their service before this. My guess is that they will end up like the Saab 340 and the BE 1900, they just go away. Scope is maxed out, so there are no more rj’s to be had. I guess we’ll all have a pretty good idea of what the plan is as October 1 approaches.
