What he is alluding to if the 65000 is increased the CRJ550 is no longer allowed since we also have weight limits on scope. It would move it up into the 70/76 seat scope area.

Considering how many CRJ’s you guys operate for United, their retirement will shrink number of pilots that are needed. I’d expect attrition to take care of the over staffing issues, but it could be a long ride at the bottom for the new hires.

There still are a lot of questions. There are many non-eas communities that would be hurt by this. United could ask Skyw to do these markets with their own brand, protecting the United brand, with a code share at the hub.

I mean we do still have our own ticketing software…
Dust the cobwebs off and go to town..
But that won’t happen. They’ll drop the 145’s and let the few remaining -200’s of Skywest run the EAS game since Skywest owns the ground operations as well. 200’s won’t be completely gone for a long long time.

UA mgmt stated very clearly in the investor call this morning that they are not planning on any scope changes. And I wouldn’t count on a SNB as today’s order clearly highlighted. The number of 70/76 seaters is fixed where it is today.

I see UA taking over routes like DEN-JAX/BHM/CHS and the 175's Shifting to the mid size 50 seat routes, DEN-TUS/FAT eat... bad news for our small bases like TUS/FAT/PSP.... The 50 seat will just do the ultra small community's .. DEN-Moab/Liberal ect.....
