If they accept the bailout loan terms, they have to provide service to all the cities according to the govt rules. It's much cheaper running RJs than SNB or WBs.

Why the 50 seats though? I get they're not that great but they make a lot of money for the company by going into tiny markets. Short term I guess I understand but long term...are you telling me that 737s will be going into Hays, KS? Or that they're just going to give up towns like that? I don't buy it...
If SK says they're gone, he knows that they're not moneymakers because if there's one thing he does extremely well is crunch numbers.

What you’re not factoring in is that HYS serves the whole northwestern part of KS so many on the flight already drove 1.5-2 hrs from an even smaller town to get to HYS to fly. Their only other UA option is to drive 3-4 hours to DEN, or they can drive the 1-2 hours to GCK and fly on AA. Before HYS they would go to GCK and the business went to AA.

Regional a/c are 25% of United’s total fleet. The best solution to the current crisis is to merge all ALPA original date of hire seniority numbers across the regionals and mainline.
Personally, I would have loved DOH integration during the UAL/CAL merger but, alas, that's not part of ALPA merger policy. |

how about those who were at a regional let’s say 1988 what happen to that seniority If we do that all regional pilots or most but the 5 percent lifers would be on the street ... have you thought about that keep dreaming |

The best solution is for you to go post your BS on your airline's section on APC. You'll get much better traction there. |
