Default United Airlines to cut domestic flights 10%

Buckle up. All of you Kool Aid drinkers get ready.

Kirby will ask for scope relief, and a year from now all the mainline flying we give up comes back as Express.

And he’ll get it because you gave it to him. But wait, Core4 will save us.

All chickens here.

Pivot.

Let me guess. United was a great company and you really wanted to work here until the day that they turned you down. Now you seem to hate the place.

And then he's going to bring Lorenzo back and bust all the unions and then he's gonna take train engineers and put 'em in the cockpit at 1/4 the cost. I called it first. My outlook is the most extreme therefore i must be more insightful and cynical then anyone on APC.

Anyone know if the 10% cut is across the board for us and express. Or is express being left alone for the salvation of the network?

Well, 10% of 76 is close enough to 70 for me.

I do t know for sure but Express is in a CPA.

We buy that capacity regardless. No savings there if you cut capacity. I suspect the majority of cuts is mainline.

RJs to the rescue ....
