From what I've been told United owns all the E-145. Even the ones parked in the desert. Part of the United Continental deal.

701EV

United “Owens the leases” and not he planes. They go back to the bank in the end.

Exactly. UA will string the L-XJT pilots long enough to drop The leases then say “sorry”. SkyWest inc will take all CRJ’s 200’s and 700’s and put them in the “other side”. (Has already started) leaving XJT by this time next year all ERJ145’s..

I'm glad I'm out of the , flying people business, much easier with boxes.

Don’t the United pilots have a scope clause that prevents United from owning a regional?

Close. The Flight Attendant contract at United prevents them from owning a majority share in any regional.

Considering recent trends in the industry UA has really put themselves at a disadvantage with that agreement. Who decided that was a good idea lol.
I mean, they’ve got serious leverage with that language. Smart!

Not my understanding. They can own a regional, it just has to be staffed by UAL FAs.

That is true as well.

As far as airframe ownership we're actually starting to see that United is buying the 145s. The placards on the flight deck door are starting to say United Continental instead of Wells Fargo bank.
