Huddles for CSeries according to United Airlines

United Airlines VP of network Brian Znotins stated the Bombardier CSeries aircraft is a “beautiful” aircraft with “good economics”, although it presents “a lot of infrastructure investments” 

Mr. Znotins said United would need to train new pilots, purchase simulators and invest in spare parts with the CSeries aircraft, and the lack of interchangeable pilots may “take away some flexibility in our operation.” Mr. Znotins pointed out: “Introducing a new fleet type now wasn’t necessarily consistent with that [improved operation is increased simplicity]. And certainly for the right economics and the right type of airplane, we’re willing to take increased complexity, but it would have to come with a lot of financial benefits.”
