Nah man, you got it all wrong. Do you think Kirby is going to throw his hands in the air and say United can’t compete since the pilots won’t budge on scope? He’ll immediately be replaced by someone who thinks they can....and then we’ll end up with a 100 seater to upgauge and/or open more markets like delta did.
Besides, I’m happy with my QoL and my contract. Scope is a non issue imo because they don’t have enough ammo to use on pay rates to convince me, or anyone I’ve talked to, that it’s worth it. To think the entire UAL increased profitability gameplan rests on us giving scope relief means our current mgmt won’t be in place for long.

It’s amazing how satire with even a touch of reality can go over people’s heads....
Wall Street won’t accept that excuse. Sometimes they are aligned with our interests.
Doesn’t matter if you’re in a bankruptcy environment or the most lucrative in the history of airlines.

Well thanks for that Captain Obvious

YMMMV, but Wall St. rarely, IF EVER has labor’s interest at heart.

I’ve read enough of your posts, I think you firmly believe what you wrote about scope, but you can backpedal saying “touch of reality”, which I guess makes my point, and then call me names if that helps feel like you aren’t being attacked by my post.
In this case, WS is aligned with the pilot group. Perhaps they’d like more RJ flying since it could be cheaper, but they won’t accept a business plan dependent on getting something our competitors aren’t.

You read way, WAY too much into it to create your own reality. Triggered much?

And simply more because of the economic environment than labor’s best interest.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.

If this were to be seriously considered, there would need to be several divestures; most notably EWR. SFO is actually a fairly big destination for us now, so that may require a divestiture as well.

Agree there is too much overlap in NYC/EWR. Other than that, our route structures are fairly complimentary.

More likely a slot sale in JFK, and gate sale. Even though JFK has more runways, and isn't affected nearly as much by a drop of rain. It's all speculation anyway. The Jet Blue guys might have a shinier crystal ball than we do, so maybe they do have better info.
Not really pertinent, it isn't going to happen anyway.
