Not a smart move

What exactly did UA do to YX? Is this like the AA JS thing or something with non-rev priority?

They’re attempting to downgrade YX to OAL priority for the JS. They are doing the same for OO and Mesa as well. They have tried this in the past and we’re not successful at all. UA is doing everything they can to prop up their new all star ‘Aviate’ regionals.

YX and OO are probably the best performing and most reliable regionals and we constantly get the short end. The whole regional model is ridiculous. The sooner you get out of a regional the better. United loves hitching their cart to a crap horse.

That’s because you’re the whipsaw. Only kept around to ensure the WOs don't get too much bargaining power.

You can only fly the schedule given from aag. Since the non w/o dont get first pick and envoy is last on the pecking order, if aag does not like the numbers well they can stick it where the sun dont shine. Aag is falling apart from top down.

From: UNA
YX crews do the flying for ALL 3 codeshares REGARDLESS where they are based which is why priority on all 3 is viable. Unlike OO, where their base does flying for a specific partner ONLY. AA will not be able to keep what they have successfully due to YX’s JS committee. This UA thing is a non issue and was tried unsuccessfully in the past, but this time there’s 3 regional partners dealing with the same problem so good luck to UA.

Then why don’t all OO pilots get benefits on all 4 carriers then? Sounds like a **** deal to me.

Short end of the stick, you have 3 masters, none of them want to risk providing an advantage to their rival. That’s the downfall to being a mega regional.
The second part, yep - C scale wages.
