Since you guys don’t fly anything greater than 50 seats, the LOA doesn’t apply to you and your company can hire who they want. Carriers who do fly aircraft bigger than 50 seats will have to either comply with the LOA, or stop flying 70/76 seat aircraft for United. Good luck to all. There are no guarantees. United could have picked CommutAir to survive because they didn’t see a need a larger company to handle a much smaller E145 fleet going forward, or you guys could expand. United could keep planes in storage, or entire fleets could be retired. This is far from over, no one is safe, and there will be more industry casualties before this is over.
