Will the NYC market recover after this crisis? or will people avoid it like the plague?

Mesa would be better off flying cargo on the 737-it pays better anyway.

I did not mean to imply Mesa would actually fly a 737 as United express.

Don't think so. The point of a BK judge would be to relax scope, and allow more traffic to fly on RJs. UAL still pays for the UAX fuel so it would be hard to justify a 737 fuel cost when a CRJ-550/700/880/ERJ/MRJ/ZRJ would adequately serve the route.

If as the poster stated, a judge could and would strip United Alpa pilots of their negotiated scope protections such as max fleet count, max seats, max range, city parings, then he could in fact, strip them of their identity as organized union labor United pilots in service of United Airlines.
Allowing Scot Kirby to hire a company such as Mesa to fly United passengers in a large aircraft such as a 737 saving thousands over using United pilots would accomplish many goals of BK.
If a judge can and will manipulate scope as easily as he suggest, then what limits are "off limits".
