The way these companies seem to work is a "shock and awe" tactic. They just come out of left field with a hard lined offer. I wouldn't be surprised if RJET places one themselves. I'd expect XJT to start a bidding war if anything to simply up the offer price. RAH wants the XJT flying and the 10yr contract with an extension to 15yrs for any new aircraft, possibly Ejets, is something they'd be interested in. Especially with Frontier flying gone. I don't see CAL wanting the 700s.
There's my speculation.... and the winner is?
CAL isnt going to give in on scope. Also since you have talked about wanting to work there lets hope CAL doesnt give in on scope. More E-Jets at any regional means less mainline jobs. What would that do to help career potential earnings? The CAL pilots are going to laugh at mgmt when they ask for scope relief.
