Scope starting to bite...
It won’t be just United though. All three of the Big Three have cut back mainline fleets. Initially decreasing the number of seats in their regional feed aircraft will will take care of the scope implications of that, albeit at a significant hit to their CASM, but that may not be sustainable as the second year of decreased seat-miles and all around revenue continues.

The big winners, however, threaten to be SWA and the LCCs leading the recovery domestically.

Only airline in the UAX system with furloughed pilots is Air Wisconsin with 130 pilots waiting recall. AW’s days may be numbered with the old 200 fleet they possess.
Point I’m making, on the UAX side there are no furloughs to recall, so the only solution would be to hire.

Could be soon, could be years from now, but still the truth.

The keystone pipeline is just the beginning. UA has a history of pulling the plug in an instant. So when/if it happens, I doubt there’ll be any warning.
