Default Look at the bright side of no JCBA

Seems to me that if these negotiations drag on for months/years and we follow the USAirways model of operating 2 separate airlines, UCH would be very limited in it's use of 70 seat RJ's. Most UCH growth is coming from the CAL side where scope is limited to 50 seat RJ's (and big turboprops). Meanwhile mainline UAL's fleet is shrinking and any UAX 70 seat RJ's are based on a ratio to UAL mainline. See what I'm getting at? Okay, it's a stretch, but it's something! Sadly, any future TA would likely contain worse scope than what we have now.

I believe under l-ual contract, they can take every 50 jet and convert it to 70 seats. L-cal side flies the 50s and l-ual provides the 70s. Viola!

There might be something to prevent that scenario, but I doubt it. Look at it this way, if it gets to the point where they keep us separate, we have more to be concerned about than rjs.

Forget about this place. Enjoy your Friday evening.

I am hoping the scope grievance we just filed has some teeth.
