Seriously? Is there anything you can link to? I’ve been a fan of the C-Series program for 9 years. Anything the break up the Airbus/Boeing duopoly. If what you’re saying is accurate, well then it’s a real shame. I had high hopes for this bird.

Because up until last summer, the A-220 was the Bombardier C-Series. That’s why I’d been cheering for it. I thought people would’ve gathered that.

I wonder how the E190/195 E2 compares to the A220. 2x2 seating on the Embraer is nice and a common type could allow us to operate everything from the 175 and up. I’d love to be wrong, but I still think that we will never fly 76 seaters at mainline, but buying efficient 100-120 seat planes to replace or add to the aging 737-700/319 fleet could happen eventually.
That’s economy of scale right there.

That would be nice and going with Embraer would allow that if they ever wanted to go that way, but based on what the company has said, I don’t see 76 jets at mainline as a remote possibility. The company has remained somewhat open to 100+ seat jets though. Now that they know that scope isn’t for sale, they may warm to the idea of the 195e2/220 size jet so that they can get the additional 76 seaters at the regionals that they want since they are stuck with our current scope language. There is a bunch going on right now. This big campaign to rebrand the airline again has the employees stirred up. My guess is that we will have a new contract before they seriously consider adding another fleet type, and I really don’t expect that for a couple of years.

So, if in the new contract, all pilots flying for United and for Mana Air were covered, and a pilot hired at Mana Air was given a seniority number on the same list as pilots at United Airlines, would that count as "insourcing" the flying? Would the 70 seaters being flown by Mana air count against the 70/76 seat limit? Would flying an E-195 at Mana Air be allowed, since they would be flown by pilots on our seniority list?
I am sure that there are some creative solutions being looked at!!

We’ve only been awarded 25 E175SCs, perhaps they are thinking we’ll be awarded more? But the 70 seaters are scoped out. Only way to get more is to park the 50 seaters which goes against Kirby’s strategy, replace more CR7s with 175SCs or perhaps “insourcing” is a possibility.

The only way for xjt to get more 70 seat jets is to either take them away from another regional and shuffle assets, or for UAL to add another fleet type to mainline which would allow more rj’s at the regional of their choice. UAL isn’t going to go beyond the CPP. If we were to add 76 seat jets to mainline the company would simply hire off the street and through the various CPP programs like they do now.
