This is why EV is probably going to win this one if UAL is serious about chopping an airline.
If this were the case-
Whats to prevent them from just putting XJT’s management in charge of C5’s pilot group? People didn’t want to go to Commutair and it didn’t grow because in the age of “1500 hours and go to your choice of regional” they couldn’t compete. There’s already 1000+ unemployed 121 pilots right now. Attracting new hires will not be an issue.
