for some reason I thought 50 seat flying wasn't really limited at UAX but 70+ seater was?

I don’t think 50 seaters have anything to do with scope.

mall regional flying has scope limits. But 50 seat scope allows for a lot more 50 seaters than 70/76 seat scope limits. For all practical purposes 50 seat scope wasn’t really a constraint in the past due to lots of mainline departures hence the love affair for 50 seaters. However, all UAX flying is constraint by how much mainline flying is done. Less mainline = less UAX.

and guess what? They will max out the 70/76 seat flying they can do and reduce 50 seat flying. And yes, chances are it will go to the people they have to pay anyway per their fee for departure contract, i.e. SkyWest.

This might get ugly

Bankrupt

So if UAL files ch11, this whole scope issue no longer is an issue and the company can tell the union to pound sand? Potentially they can take on as much cheap labor as they want
