OO is watching, and counting their 175's that should have come our way. SKW checklist:
- Takeover XJT *
- Screw up XJT relationship with UA *
- Use pilot revolt to take over flying and new airplanes *
- Use every excuse possible to wind down union side of business. (in work)
You bet management is watching... watching all their shinny new 175s that we'll never see. Wonder where all those Mitsubishi's are now? (hint, going to republic).

I don't think the Mystery Jet will ever see use in the US. At least not in the near future.
Much of the problems with UAL are their own doing. They have always treated the regionals like second-class citizens, more so than other majors. I think they tried to be cute just a little too long and will soon see 145's being parked for a lack of pilots. Why would anyone want to work for a UAL feeder?

Actually, we were not nearly so second class as we are now. Before the United merger, we were treated much much better as the only Coex carrier.

I'm aware of that. I was talking about UAL, not CAL. CAL no longer exists.

But I bet you still say ASA when you refer to your employer. 🤔

Nope. ExpressJet.

In this scenario, I am referring to UAL and their history. Personally, I don't think UAL has figured out their regional feed and is on the verge of seeing a bunch of 145's parked due to a lack of pilots. They are still treating the regionals like it's 2010 and you can find a qualified pilot in any gutter to fill a seat.

Why would republic get Mitsubishi Jets? Lol

I believe we're all about to see if United figured it out... #spoileralert

Maybe, maybe not. I've been hearing that one for years so I'm not holding my breath. I'll give it to January, then I'm bailing. Every day they wait more LASA pilots hop over to their competition, either AAL (Envoy and PSA), or DAL (Endeavor). I'd venture to guess that few, if any of our attrition has been to UAL feeders, except maybe Inc who is in bed with everyone.
