It’s quite evident that United is moving towards Ch 11 in order to restructure under Kirby. 36,000 employees: 15,000 FAs, 2250 pilots. Those are massive numbers. Out of all the regionals XJT has the most top-heavy pilot group. It makes XJT very expensive to contract out to during a pandemic, especially with only 50 seat aircraft which Kirby has said on more than one occasion now he intends to eliminate. Let’s face it SK has a track record of shrinking every airline he’s been apart of.
