My example was succinct, but it really depends on the (presumably confidential) contract details with each regional. I don’t think United would hesitate for a second to leverage any contractual leverage to conserve cash, even if a court might disagree 8 years later

From what I gathered;
Trans states shut down mostly due to an inability to staff their flying and general mismanagement. They went to United and asked for some flexibility and United said no. That’s very different than United unilaterally pulling out of a contract.
Compass’ Delta flying contract expired and they were unable to secure enough flying to be a viable airline. Again, an expiration is much different than pulling out of a contract early.
That’s my take on it anyway. Let me know if I misunderstood something.

UA has played loose and fast with FFD contract language before, it is in their genetics.

I think it's too soon for that. I don't believe Kirby has given up on scope relief. Once he finally capitulates (or TI does, but that isn't my bet) then you will see the plan for UAX. Revenue share for EAS sounds right. Not sure about anything else.

agreed. No way he’s laying out any plans for 2+ months from now with things as fluid as they still are.

At this point any scope relief or even status quo grace would include United pilots.
