Slight drift here, but speaking of UAL terminals circa 1987.

Refreshing. It sounds as though he's been reading forum posts from 2003 and he has learned from pilots acute business acumen and foresight. And to think that we work for pennies on the dollar when compared to the mucky-mucks. Wonder what took them so long? I'll bet he's using UAL's IT dial-up modem.

Wrong answer there...I think you meant the cs3-hundo, seeing how it pays about fifty more an hour in the left seat. The cs 100 in the left seat pays less than wb f/o...=lame!

But the cs3-hundo does not qualify as a 'New Small Narrowbody Aircraft' in the UPA. So the Company could not get more of it's coveted 76 seaters. Which means it's prolly not gonna happen.

Or separately, would a combo of the CS100 and 300 make sense to both open up the 76 seat access and go forward w/ the most fuel efficient aircraft in the low-mid 100 seat range?

I've wondered about this. How much does the CO actually want to access more 76 seaters with the current trends at the regionals WRT reliability of operations and availability of a steady stream of pilots? We seem to be running 99%+ completion factor lately and that's normally pretty tough/impossible to do regularly at most regionals. Would the CS300 make sense anyways (more sense than that initial plan of grabbing the last 60-odd small old-gen 737s off the line), even if it didn't open up access to the 76 seaters?

Based on our new President's statements about small jet seat mile costs at mainline, I doubt we see anything smaller than an A319. But that's just my opinion. They'll probably wait for the next crisis and try to get more/bigger RJs for nothing like in 2003.
