Any ounce of truth to this? The other rumor is that republic or envoy will expand west and takeover the E175's. I know its all just rumors but have any of you heard any sort of talk about either of those?
It's been talked about to an exhausting level. Every regional has lifers, some more than others, and those lifers jump on any rumor that will allow them to continue a fantasy of retiring at a regional in 2025. The truth is no one knows anything about the future and I'd say that even goes up to regional management. Mainline does what they want to support their bottom line even if that means puting regional pilots on the street. Of course this is not something they want us to know so we don't affect their performance due to low morale. So the fact of the matter any information that is not photocopied from a memo seen on a chief pilots desk has no truth until it is announced to the few news articles that care. It'll be hard to find a pilot now a days that hasn't either left one regional for another or a mainline guy that has been effected by some kind of furlough or slow down. Use your best judgment using all that fancy CRM the FAA taught you to make a sound, educated judgment to get you either home base, PIC time, seniority, and job security. If we can offer you that, I don't know. We're a privately owned company that does not have any obligation to release financial status or plans. Every regional is fighting for staffing so rumors are just that, rumors.
