I agree. The 25 175SCs are coming at the expense of 25 planes from another regional. Many here are guessing UAL will ax GoJet’s flying as the contract expires this year for their 25 CR7s. A staple to UAL is a pipe dream for us. But the union passed along a survey that came from the UAL MEC regarding the CPP. It asked questions like “How much does the CPP make you want to stay at your UAX carrier” “if you were offered a job at legacy/LCC/regional with a flow while in the CPP pool would you leave?” This, along with the second round Hogan’s not coming out yet make you wonder if something is up.
