I'm afraid to imagine how your posts will look after retirement if you have this much time to troll regional boards while you're employed.
You want to see our contract...then get the job. We now have hard limits on large RJ's in our contract, along with other limits. The 50 seater is dying a cost death. And that DHC-8 to SYR is probably delayed or canceled for crew or maintenance.

We establish new limits, return mainline service to stations that hadn't seen mainline service since 9/11 and you still complain we haven't done enough? Those flights are all mainline jobs that wouldn't have been created if we didn't have limits.

Enough for me? You're a little confused. I'm not the one complaining about express carriers, you are. If you remember, a while ago I advised you that you should stop whining on APC and do some work taking back your scope so you don't have to worry about express carriers messing up your company's reputation. Now that I ask you about your progress, you are giving yourself credit for things you had no control over. I'm pretty sure UAL decided to send a 737 to SYR, assuming that's true. You and your union didn't "take it back".

I don't know why you guys keep going with this guy. He still can't back up a question from over a week ago about all the emergency landings.

Amusement. Call him on his BS, then watch him deflect and dodge the questions he's too proud to admit he can't answer. He gets a little more creative each time. I can't tell if he's a troll, or just angry and confused.

Now where do I even begin? No, CommutAir did not take consessions to acquire new airplanes. Actually, we signed in improvements to our contract. It still sucks, but it got better. How in your little mind does that equate to selling out? Please explain.

Yes you guys are finally holding the line on scope after you and your friends already sold the industry out. You are not taking back regional cities. Show me where in your contract you have successfully taken back scope and have taken back "many regional cities".
You two are both clowns. It's no mystery how RJs showed up and blew up. It's also no mystery that C5 is awful, habitually delayed and famous for multiple air returns daily into EWR.

Did you guys have a bad break up?

Yes, that's it. A bad break up.

I will do your homework for you on this one...UA1500 ORD-SYR 08JUN Dep 1347 Arr 1637 Equipment: A320...Must be an imaginary flight since you don't seem to be an believer.

So how do you explain the return of mainline jets to markets that were given to RJ's after 9/11? Does the UA pilots scope clause have nothing to do with the changes? If we had unlimited jets at greater than 50 seats at UAX I highly suspect these markets would have E170's and CR7 or 9's if we had not altered our scope language.

Lets hope UA has learned its lesson with using the lowest bidder of commutair. In fact commutair is so bad they were willing to bring back ARW, flying some of the oldest CRJ's for a more reliable operation than attempting to expand the commutair experiment.

You're obviously not aware of the pilot shortage that's affecting the industry right now...

How do I explain it? It's summer. More people are flying, so you need more seats. That explanation is just as good as yours. You obviously don't have the insider info you claim to have. As long as there are 37 seat dash 8s flying between UAL hubs, you haven't done jack with your scope. I expect better results from you next month. Good luck, we are rooting for you.

CO did not allow regionals to fly hub to hub. They actually held there ground better than the L-UA girls when it was contract time. Now that the Continental pilots and peeps are back in charge, it appears they are trying to fix that mess called United.

Maybe if the management at mainline wasn't trying to fix their own mess, they might have more time to fix their regionals.
