The elephant in the room that no one is talking about is $70 oil, soon to be $100 that will, “surely” kill off the 145.
Surejet wont make it through September.
TFAYD.
I agree with the lack of recruiting money especially compared to Inc.
Also, I'm neutral on our future, maybe 50/50.
But I think September is rather unrealistic. UAL will still need the feed to fill the larger jets and they don't have anything they can use to replace the 145 at this point, except maybe CRJ's. They already tried to transfer 145s to CommutAir and that fell flat. If they announced today the transfer of flying to someone else it would probably take a year to do so.
