From a personal standpoint I think the company acted too late on getting 700s or 900s and was too comfortable with 50 seat flying.
Other regionals have gotten more block hours and are about to restart hiring/training and have recalled their staff with no intent to furlough yet here we are furloughed, recalled and re-furloughed come March end because there is no demand.
Being a contract carrier I wonder what would happen if UA cut us loose and said they didn’t need us anymore.
They would have to pay out massive penalties, which is probably why they did it to XJT and not us.
