I'm not really sure. I think there is an unwritten rule that says the airlines will compete against each other, but not too aggressively, so we don't get repercussions from other airlines. If you are generating $35B a year in revenue just how important is that to try to complete in a few cities for marginal revenue when your competitor then goes into one of your cities and does the same. Lose Lose.

I'm really surprised that all the consolidation has been allowed to happen in the last 6 years. It just makes less decision makers, which leads to easier collusion, whether it is verbal or implied. Either way, its good for all of us, because we all have less competitors now, and all the pilots jobs have been retained.

I'd love to see United grow, but I'd take a static airline the size we have now that is profitable and stable over growth and then have it all fall apart later.

Yes SCOPE isn't perfect and its never going to be. Let's not let the quest for perfect SCOPE be the enemy of a good overall contract.

I think if and when we get a 100 seat jet on the property as a net increase guys are going to feel better about this. I'm just surprised that there hasn't been an order yet.
You will never see an order for a 100 seat jet at the new UAL

Why not unite over scope? Who does it help to predict future failures and losses?
We lost our 50 seat scope in a shady one man 9/11 side-letter...you lost your 50 seat scope when the CO code ceased upon a merger (source: CAL MEC VC), where do all these huge scope warrior soap boxes come from? One can live in the toxic slick tie minority or productively move on. Go Cubs.

I'd be surprised to not see an order in the next 2 years.

You want to unite over scope? I'm with you. I will never vote for a contract that gives away flying. Never have, Never will.

You are the one that brought scope to this discussion in post 5. It does need to be talked about seeing that we still have guys willing to buy the market forces BS.

Given the mud you have slung on this board and perpensity to often rehash merger hyperbole, I'll pass on unity rah rah calls from you. I was ready to productively move on a long time ago, you are still not despite what you think otherwise.
