range is still limited to 900 miles

Which is A LOT.

That's way more than it can currently fly, and more than any single UA CRJ-200 route flown today....

United scope clause specifies STATUTE miles. You are technically correct for NAUTICAL miles

oh that's good actually. nice.

But even then, still the vast majority of CRJ200 flying fits within 900 statute with only a few outliers.

The point is that, although this only applies to a small number of planes, it is still a significant relaxation of scope.

It is not even mentioned in the bullet points description of the TA. In fact the first bullet point insults the reading comprehension skills of the pilot group by claiming
”No changes to the number of permitted 76, 70, or 50 seat regional aircraft”.
Technically true? Typical BS? Yes and yes.

I wonder how many UA pilots sat down, committed the time to read and understand the TA, then came to the scope relaxation part and said “well thats it for me, another hour wasted by the bs department”

The 900 miles is not a UA thing, its a DL thing right?
I want to remember that i used to fly the old beat 200 much further than 900 miles. I think the longest one at OO is close to 1500 miles...

DL is more like 500 nm. The longest 200 flight in their system (at least east of the Mississippi) is ATL-SBN. I think that's less of a scope restriction and more of a "passengers hate the 200" thing.
