Does current AA scope allow a company that flies larger aircraft for another carrier or itself to ALSO feed AA ?Yes

If the new divested Eagle were to use one of its certificates to replace AA, wouldn't it need to seperate itself again from the company that FEEDS AA, resulting in a second divestiture ?No

AA has made it clear, any Jet over 50 seats, except for 50, 70 seat RJs, anything more is mainlines. So over 70 seats is mainline to AA, and the Regionals can only have 50 jets over 50 seats.

At CAL it is any jet over 50 seats.

At UAL it is any jet over 70 seats.

At USAIR it is any jet over 70 seats.

At Delta (the loose girl) it is any jet over 90 seats :mad:, thanks guys, I wish we all had navy pensions.

You really need to get your facts straight before you go popping off about things you don't understand. Delta pilot scope does NOT allow aircraft configured to 90 seats to be scoped out. A limited amount of 76 seaters are allowed, with multiple layers of furlough protection built in. From a flow back to Compass to seats being removed from 76 seaters if furloughs reach a certain DOH.

Secondly, the UsAir aircraft ARE NOT owned/operated by UsAir. Mesa has many of the CRJ900's configued to 86 seats and RAH owns many of the E170/E175's configured to 86 seats. These airlplanes are NOT limited to 70 seats and are NOT operated by UsAir.




Oh really? So by your logic you are wrong again. The CRJ 700 is certified to 78 seats. Just because it's not at the most uncomfortable pitch with 70 seats, it's still the same airplane. By your logic AA pilots gave up 78 seat scope.

I do see quite a few DAL CRJ 900s with the word Connection. I see USAIR EMJ90s that do not end in Express. Those are simple facts, you want to talk about how the cabin is configured thats fine, but its a simple fact about the size of the plane itself, not leg room.

UAL has all those E175's and CRJ700's rolling around. UAL has NO limit. What's worse? Unlimited CRJ700's/EMB175's, or limited CRJ700/900, EMB170/175's? UAL parked 94 737-200's. Take a guess at what replaced that flying. Unlimited 70 seaters. Ask CAL guys about the unlimited Q400's that are replacing all their 737 flying.

Once again, do some research. Is a limited amount of CRJ900's with a max seat config of 76 worse then unlimited 70 seat jets?

There are no E175s operating as United Express.

Thank you for the correction. Are the 86 seat configured E Jets on the UsAir side E175's?
