That was the plan of UAL MEC all along and now watch the orders for the bigger E jets
One seniority all flown by United pilots was the goal
It’s coming
How many E jets you have will be transfer back to UAL as the 5-7 years leases expires with Mesa
I think 48 from Mesa and 20 from Republic will end up back at UAL
I hope they renew your 700s so you keep the jobs
Seriously I do hope
22 plus years into this game I know just a little about this game. Ask your MEC Chair and VP of flight ops
I even told them the 175s coming to Mesa before they knew about it. Ask your head of recruitment and alpa administrator about that as well or ask about the possibility of United buying the 700 operation back in 2006 I believe it was and tag 10 crews per aircraft to UAL seniority that will be your VP to as since he was an MEC Chair at the time
The program from ExpressJet will look like CommutAir. There will be no staple on. CommutAir has a similar investor group that owns them as is buying ExpressJet.
We will know shortly whether the Mesa Ejets are extended. United has the option to extend them for two more years. Otherwise, they go back starting in June 2019.
I also think it will be GoJet’s 700’s that are retired and not Mesa’s for a variety of reasons. But, it could be 20 Mesa 700’s and 5 GoJet’s that are retired.
I suspect Mesa and GoJet will hear shortly after the holidays, if not before.
