Wow, go enjoy that. How many 70 seaters or higher does UAL have? How many will your combination have? You can't just dump 100 E170s or CR7s all at once. But, maybe your Colgan DH8-400s can go into Aspen now. Too bad for SkyWest. Good luck pal.

Actually it's quite possible to dump a large number of those aircraft into the open market or dessert. Anything is negoitable. CAL has the new aircraft orders to offset parking some of those aircraft, route overlap and route elimination, substitution of Republic/Skywest 50 seaters for 70/90 seaters to other code share airlines, etc. Granted it would not be an immediate thing but just because UAL allows it does not mean a CAL/UAL merger would allow it.
The last thing to consider is CAL/UAL flying those aircraft under a new negoiated merger contract. We still hold the cards for the pacific JV that must come to fruition by January or the entire thing is axed.
