CAL/ UAL Merger

[rumorhasit]

I guess Republic is having a hand to forehead slapping moment, they couldve been a contender!!!!!

Quick question. What is the scope at CAL? Is it 50 seat? Does Republic not fly for United under Shuttle America? What happens there in the event of a merger?

No more 70 seat contract awards...the current contracts will freeze where they are or....MAYBE...be reduced.


That's a longshot though.

It all depends on what the company offers and the union. I'm pretty sure UA and CAL would like nothing more than to have 100 seat RJs flying around.

UAL and CAL would love nothing more than to have 200 seat "RJ"s flying around and do nothing but intl flying....but the pilots would have a **** fit if that was brought up...or so I hope.

Scope has gone far enough down the drain. Honestly I'd love to see nothing over 50 seats powered by a turbofan but that's just me. 99 problems and that many seats is one.

Scope at CAL is 50 seat jets (with ratios for greater than 276 50 seaters) and 79 seat turboprops.

Why allow 79 seat props but disallow 50+ seat jets? That makes no sense.

Because only REAL PILOTS fly jets... Sacrasm...

It doesn't matter what CAL's scope is anymore. The new company is now called United and the scope UAL has, will be what will be.

The BEST course of action would be to have every jet with 51 seats or more flown by mainline.... a few regional pilots would be out of work, but thats business and life. Plenty of mainline pilots have been out of work for MANY years because of regionals flying their seats and routes. I hope for a CAL style scope in the merger.... but most likely a cap on the current # of RJ's will be the end result.
