I think the ball is in CAL and UAL pilots court. It really is dependent on their senior pilots. How much are these senior pilots ready to "give" to get back scope. If you ask a guy who is mid-50's to give up 25-45 grand a year in potential income so the future pilot group will be stronger... that is a tough sell. the junior guys are all for burning the place down for better scope but the senior guys generally dont care where the pilot group winds up once they are gone. I think you might see the current number of 70 seaters cut and more aircraft in the 100 seat range flown by mainline similar to usairways.

With the airline industry of today, anything can happen. I think UAL/CAL might lock 50 seaters and the remaining contracts that UAL have with the 50+ won't be renew. On the other hand SKW alone has 83 CRJ700 operating DAL/UAL combined if i'm correct on those numbers. I don't see SKW parking all the UAX 700, instead they might become another Republic and order C-series. This is just a possibility on my opinion with this crazy industry.

The cat's already out of the bag regarding large RJ's and the UAL pilots have to be real about this. In order to get any meaningful contract improvements they have to leave scope the way it is. I'm not saying I agree with this, but that's reality.
