No they don’t. They might own the airplanes but United doesn’t own any airline other than United Airlines. All of the regional carriers that feed United are independent.
Well, the Avianca thing will hopefully play out soon enough. UAL does “own” them now.
That said, I agree with the rest. I believe bringing regional feed in house will improve the company’s bottom line after considering all costs associated with airframe acquisition and operational costs for a new type as well as incremental costs using mainline crews. Wow, long run on.....
As much flying as possible under mainline will improve the bottom line IMHO. And, improve UALs desire to attract the most qualified pilots.
