The new XJT owner while he was at his previous carrier (c5) made the statement that there would only be 4 regional carriers for UA.

He got the pilot group small enough at c5 to force a one fleet type operation at the company and then the pilot group started to grow again. Sound familiar? There were a lot of pilots stuck not upgrading and pilots stuck on reserve while the training department turned into a train wreck. His past continues to repeat itself.

C5 is starting service into ORD in October. It will be a through city like DEN used to be at XJT before the base opened. One of the flights is ORD-SAV. For those of us that were in and out of ORD when we started flying for UA, feel free to laugh at the C5 guys getting yelled at just like we did when we started back in 2009/10. I would not plan on a IAH base before next summer.
