This is without a doubt SK with two fingers up at our MEC. SK has not changed his playbook for 20 years. On the plus side we now know the plan. They should not be stuck on scope anymore. A new UPA by this summer

From what I’ve read on the Gojet forum, no agreement has been reached with their pilots as to pay rates. My understanding is their rates are based on number of seats. That will be interesting, watching Go convince their pilots to accept 50 seat pay for a 70 seat.....
Apparently, the rate UA will pay has already been agreed.
Go has a problem with pilot retentions and sounds like pilot relations are already strained.

It should be pretty simple for the marketing folks. I really don't think there are any "new" markets..... Likely some unserved for a reason, and some under served for a reason.

Don't run the APU! Result: we save money, and then we have the money to burn on the lack of a 100 seat airplane.
Reduce staffing on the FA side! Result: we save money, and then we have the money to burn by buying a 70 seat jet and flying it with 50 people.
I see how this works.....We rob peter and then pay paul. We just do it internally. Rob one department and pay another. The balance sheets don't care as long as the final balance sheet is squared away.

It is my theory that we are subsidizing Kirby's silly thought process and economic plans.

Our scope love it or not ultimately affects our profitability...I personally would be fine with replacing more 50 seaters with 70 seats at the regional level. I think we are cutting our own necks. The same guys that beeyatch about DAL profit sharing don’t seem open minded to any changes that might increase our profitability....I hope our union knows what it’s doing

Sometimes I’m amazed that pilots are our own worst enemy. But mostly, I’m not.

We are trying to fill planes and connect to mainline with the high yield passengers, it’s our union blocking the company from selling more seats. Our scope love it or not ultimately affects our profitability. I’m not advocating selling out, but I do know out of a lot of cities we have lost global service and higher paying customers do to our inferior 50 seat product. That’s life. I personally would be fine with replacing more 50 seaters with 70 seats at the regional level. I think we are cutting our own necks. The same guys that beeyatch about DAL profit sharing don’t seem open minded to any changes that might increase our profitability. Yes single engine taxi helps and when even employees like myself BUY tickets for their families rather then use the UAL discount because you have to travel on a crap 50 seat RJ THERE IS AN ISSUE. I hope our union knows what it’s doing
