This morning an unhappy customer asked me why she had to check in at one terminal and then transfer to another before her flight departed. She didn't understand how her express flight could be departing from the main terminal. I explained to her that the airline was so busy whip sawing pilot groups against each other that they were no longer paying attention to the core business.

United is making sure rjs are on routes that will soon be hub to hub: Lax-iah, den-iah, Ord-iah/Cle this is a way around the hub to hub scope protection when the jcba comes out they can say "well they were doing those flights before the merger so you can't touch them".
Let's all pray Conti/United pilots can man up and hold scope. It's best for ALL of us. No more Regional flying. Take it back to mainline.

I would hope that the JCBA would prohibit hub to hub regional flights regardless of when they began or what was happening prior to the JCBA.

Any difference between these and the Air Lingus Deal?
