Regional Aircraft Size and Numbers: On or After Jan. 1, 2014 (1-C-1-a-(1)-ii)
The Company’s 70/76-seat aircraft fleet count is currently 183, with a combined total Express carrier fleet count
of 588 aircraft. The legacy Continental contract has a limit on the number of small jets (50-seat limit) which can
increase with increases in the mainline fleet, based on a matrix of our entire fleet. The number is unlimited for
Q400 turboprops. The legacy United contract permits unlimited 70-seat jets, but contains a restriction whereby the
number of block hours of feeder flying cannot exceed the block hours of Company flying.

Scope Transition Limitations: On or After Jan. 1, 2014 (1-C-1-a-(1)-ii)
• Between Jan. 1, 2014 and Jan. 1, 2016, the Company will be allowed to permit United Express to operate
up to 255 70/76-seat aircraft, of which up to 130 may be 76-seat aircraft

Scope Transition Limitations: On or After Jan 1, 2016
• On or after Jan. 1, 2016, the Company will be allowed to increase their 76-seat aircraft fleet from 130 to
153
• In both events (previous two bullets), United Express may not exceed 255 70/76-seat aircraft (combined)
fleet. The Company cannot exceed these limits without first:
- Acquiring and adding New Small Narrowbody Aircraft (as defined in this section) to the
Company fleet
- Reducing 50-seat aircraft flown by United Express
- Tightening the single-aisle block hour ratio
• Jets and large turboprops (Q400s) are covered under this provision (eliminating the ability for the
Company to operate an unlimited number of Q400 turboprop aircraft)

What I'm talking about specifically is our CEO pitting one set of his employees against another set of his employees while simultaneously giving himself thousands of shares of stock and asking us to take pay cuts. All in order to subsidize the cost of two management teams and their staff, the cost of two infrastructures, processes, systems, departments, two of EVERYTHING. Just to perpetuate this immoral business model so that he can do it to us again the next round. THAT'S the immoral whipsaw business model I'm referring to. One in which I did NOT sign up for when I applied to work here. So while I'm here, I'll will (among many other things) "sit on here and complain."

Do you honestly endorse that horse $hit?



Only a dozen of CHQ's 145 were operating under UAX. The rest were for AAG.
