It would position XJT pilots in the driver's seat if UA cannot hire new pilots. We would get a flow and/or more money. You think starting up an E175 operation is difficult? Mesa did it within months, if they can do it, we can do it better and in a shorter time period. XJT training department was already prepared for the E175, this will be an easy transition for our company. One more thing, what makes you think UA would let us fail and keep all the other regionals around? You are not too familiar with the history of the majors and it shows! The more regional partners they have, the more chances of whipsaw and keeping cost under control.
