Does anyone think United FAs would want to staff our lowly 145s? I'm sure they're just dying to be able to bid for those CAK overnights.
I think anyone believing the FA contract would prevent United ownership is fooling themselves. If United has the will, they will find a way. ($)
We will see if they do.

Anyone notice the lack of advertising for pilot recruitment ?
To even speculate if u/cal would be interested in Exjet is a very dim thought. Soon, the Asa side will be gone with the completion of the aa contract and sgu will, “place” the remaining aircraft with the lowest cost side.
The elephant in the room that no one is talking about is $70 oil, soon to be $100 that will, “surely” kill off the 145.
Surejet wont make it through September.

Also, I'm neutral on our future, maybe 50/50.
But I think September is rather unrealistic. UAL will still need the feed to fill the larger jets and they don't have anything they can use to replace the 145 at this point, except maybe CRJ's. They already tried to transfer 145s to CommutAir and that fell flat. If they announced today the transfer of flying to someone else it would probably take a year to do so.

I’m thinking, everyone will be surprised at how fast they wind down surejet.
Aca, Eagle, comair, asa and now, surejet will go the way of the dodo only because of operating costs, (very senior pilot group with decent contract and benefits).
History cannot be ignored especially with regards to regional feed and Oscar isn’t going to change that m.o. any time soon.
Surejet won’t last long with oil @ $100.

You can't ignore history, but don't drive by looking in the rearview mirror. But you are right that $100 oil may throw a wrench in things.

I don’t think that United wants a bunch of tired 50 seat jets. They’re simply stuck with them because they’re maxed out on scope. The Max starts operating in 2 weeks. They’re 161 on the way and each one can replace the available seats of 3.5 rj’s. The pilots can be had for the cost of an interview. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
