We are a cheaper workforce and smaller jets with lower cost per hour of operation. I don’t think UA will be overly concerned if 6 seats are no longer available. Sure it’s not ideal and is 6 seats of lost revenue, but they will still make money if they can fill a 175 up to 70 pax and keep their fleets at same or similar levels

Delta is already doing it on OO 175s and probably other carriers as well.

Obviously as pointed out, all this will be defined by contract language regarding scope when the time comes, I’m not sure what UAs scope demands in regards to airframe numbers etc...

Take it with a grain of salt...I’ve heard that UA is contractually obligated with their regionals to give them 90 days notice on what they’ll be flying. July 1st is roughly 90 days from October 1st. Also that is about the same time furlough notices will probably be going out as well. I’m no fortune teller but if I had to guess we’ll find out sometime in July about the future of UAX.

engineering to take seats out. I would hope they have a screwdriver too.
