TSA will have to do something as well, but a lot of what TSA can do to match the wholly owneds depends on UAL. There is a new Sheriff in town at UAL (Kirby) and we will see what he does after the first of the year. We will also see what TSA does as well. I could see UAL buying regionals again or investing in them to gain more control. I also suspect there will be some regional consolidation next year due to the pilot shortage, and it wouldn't surprise me if TSA gets sold or buys someone else. But one thing you can count on is there will be big changes next year. So I don't blame anyone for leaving for Ameican or a better deal somewhere else, but to think the situation at TSA is going to remain "as is" is ridiculous.
Haha what changes will there be? Management is doing better than they've done before. Everything is running great, still a bunch of planes out there making Hulas tons of cash. Revolving door for pilots which keep costs low. All they have to do is lose a few planes, staffing will be normal again. TSA has no value. The American flying can be transferred whenever they want it back, the XRs are owned by United. It's a paper company. I can see a consolidation with gojet if gojet loses their contracts but that's it.
