So lets do it. I don't get why people are afraid to have a walk out day. Even if participation is 25% across the regionals there will still be a hit and do people honestly think management could afford to fire 25% of the workforce? They can't even find people to fly currently.
(25 is just an arbitrary percent)

would be awesome.
timing is an issue though, too tight for the initial deliver schedule to get everything together.
See two options:
1.) Goes to a regional that already has the E170/175 on certificate
2.) Mainline takes it.
- In that case, expect United to upconvert the E175 to E190s or E195. That fulfils a scope requirement in the new contract, allowing them to have more 70 seaters further down the line. (see "1-C-1-g Number of 76-Seat Aircraft").
To make that happen they would probably need to delay delivieries.
