What does it matter when the United announcement is? United has to balance one regional’s need against another. United isn’t going to screw their customers in the short term just to benefit Xjet. As long as there is a bid for 175 pilots in the next bid period, that means the 175 program is moving forward. And, a United announcement isn’t required to meet the terms of the TA, only a signed CPA for 20 175’s. The public United announcement could be done just before the 175’s start coming online.
