As M.M. stated, there aren't enough gates in IAH for them to get around this by calling them UAL 70's. They are stuck legally and physically. They have no choice. It was the last round and Rocky was about to go down, he showed Ivan Drago one more punch.

MRIVC,
I know some have stated that SKYW will just put CRJ200 on those routes. Meanwhile XJT has plans for shipping quite a great deal of flying up to ORD. I don't imagine SKWY having the spare airframes (200) to cover that flying as they must be dedicated somewhere else. What do you forsee happening? Any word from management? Oops, I guess UAL legal wasn't so right despite their reassertions that this is fully legal. I don't see CRJ200s being successful on all the longer planned routes, IAH-YYZ for example.

Actually, it helps when you have wording in your contract that defines major and expedited grievances. But you go on thinking what you want to.

How exactly do you code share without the use of the CO code?
This ruling is a perfect example of why pilots need ALPA. The resources ALPA brought to fight this violation were immense, and it's a very important victory.

If you look in Section 1 of your contract, it will contain the same provisions for expediting scope violations as the CAL contract. Some contracts allow for expediting termination grievances also (ours does, for example), but a lot of agreements don't. Apparently yours in one that doesn't. That has nothing to do with mainline vs. regional, it's just a matter of bargaining priorities for your own negotiators and MEC when they bargained your contract.
And in case you haven't heard, the RJDC is already resting in the ash bin of history, right where it belongs.

Pattern bargaining has it's ... benefits.

It wouldn't be as seamless as a straight codeshare, but they could do it using third party Star Alliance codes. As is, there are CO coded *A flights being done by 51+ seat RJs right now.

Well, then it will be the United MEC's turn to go to the mat because I'm pretty certain that their contract prohibits non hub point to point RJ flying.

I think they're also up against their limit of 70-seat flying, or at least very close.

This is the more pertinent limit, though with the transfer of XJT aircraft to ORD from IAH and EWR, it seems like UAL is trying to "right size" their regional feed.
