I haven't been very impressed with our ability to protect our flank. I think the out-sourcing issue should have been fully resolved 3 to 4 years ago. We don't have tactical or strategic control of the regional MEC's and their goal setting. They do polling etc as well. They set their own contract goals. I've been talking to a few regional FO's on the jump seat. Some of these folks would love bigger RJ's. So, gotta be really careful.

You’ve just explained why there is no conflict of interest. No MEC or national can compel any MEC what to negotiate! If mainline MEC wants to scope in EVERYTHING, they can. And at the same time, the regional MEC CANNOT compel the mainline MEC to give up more scope so that they can fly bigger airplanes. Therefore, no conflict of interest.

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
Guess what else Delta does, JV out a YUGE portion of their top end widebody flying. Look at the number of top tier pay CA/FO seats at UAL vs DAL.
Stop pointing the finger at your breatheren and your union, they’re trying to put the genie back in the bottle and improve YOUR pay, QOL, benefits, travel, etc. Concessionist attitudes don’t help, especially for the guys on the bottom of the list. Unless you’re only worried about you.

Interesting quote here...Kirby says CRJ550 CASM is only high single digits more than a 50 seat jet but RASM is double digit increase, so its going to pay for itself and provide more revenue...
