Because we've (UAL & CAL) always "bought" the RJs one way or the other. Either we bought the aircraft outright and leased it back to the regional, or we leased the aircraft ourselves and then sub-leased it, or we "co-signed" the lease agreements.
The regionals don't have the capital to buy RJs without a deal from the mothership. Nobody in the in their right mind will loan $$$ to a regional without a mainline deal in place.

Let the 757 wide body pilots blame whoever they want if it makes them feel better.

Not true at all. I believe you are mistaken or trying to start something. Breakdown did not go like that at all. I can post all kinda "I heard" but it would be irresponsible for me to do that based on everything that is going on at the company and union and truth needs to be the only thing put out for review and discussion. I should mention that I am just irritated that anything above 50 is coming but do realize that this may not be all bad. If done right it could reduce actual overall RJ positions here at United and that would be good. However, the economics will tempt mgmt to really figure out how to make it work.
