Continental Express with United Express
The new United Airlines can’t identify its 70-seat regional jets as Continental Airlines flights, an arbitrator has ruled.
The arbitrator agreed with Continental’s pilots, who argued that their labor contract requires them — not regional pilots — to fly planes of that size.
The new airline is free to fly 70-seat jets from Continental hubs in Cleveland, Newark and Houston. But the flights must be marketed as United Express flights.
