That may be why the ratio is 90% for UAL. Until the SLI is complete, "CAL's" aircraft deliveries can't be flown by "UAL's" pilots.

Of course Litigator Smisek is not honoring our scope clause so why would we expect him to honor the TPA or merger and fragmentation sections of our scope clause.

The other rumor I have recently heard is that IAH-NRT will be going to a 747 soon.

FWIW, on the airliners.net site someone seems to have posted that UAL will start an SFO-IAH-LIM round trip with the 763 starting in Feb.

Just looked in Apollo.

UA 854 is for sale starting 17FEB. 2 class 767 from IAH to LIM. (It's the 2 class that UA has been using to the islands)

Just saw that as well. Makes my first post moot. It appears that the flying shifting is more a function of rightsizing routes than any attempted whipsaw. That's good news to me, and I'm sure to our furloughed brothers and sisters. Hopefully they will all be back soon

It will be run as a through flight SFO-IAH-LIM replacing a current CAL 757 which I'm sure will be immediately redeployed to replace that 50-seat RJ from say IAH to LIT??

Who cares as long as they replace the RJ's like the skywest (UAL) LAX-IAH UFB...

As soon as a new contract is reached all of the hub to hub flying should go back to mainline, that is in the present contract. With the integration of CO and UA hubs, this should bring back a lot of flying in and of itself.

Not to nit-pick...but all UAL code rjs are limited to max certificated 70 seat / 80K pound aircraft with the exception of the E-170 which must fly with only 70 seats. IOW, no "76 seaters" currently fly the UAL code, only 70 seaters.

Think it is actually that they can only be configured with 66 seats.

I welcome the layover in IAH and Lima but am very interested in seeing Guam for the first time. Sure those are coming for UAL 747 pilots.
