Oh the hypocrisy. United (or any other major carrier) will not be looking for another long term 50 seat contract carrier. It would most certainly be 70+. Now you see expressjet guys hoping their company is able to underbid everyone else. Where is the pride guys? You're now hoping to become the "cheap" labor? Gotta love it.

Btw, where has anyone heard United is unhappy with skywest or rah? A BK may or may not affect those companies, I don't know. Personally, I think a BK would result in additional regional flying up for grabs as opposed to the redistribution of the current contracts.
