Have there even been any classes this month? This is a very quiet regional forum.

Unless it entails an Atlanta base with at least 30 aircraft, then no-all parties will not be pleased.

Sooo, UA is scoped out on large RJ. Are you talking 200 flying or is someone else losing flying? And who would that be?

During the DFW meet a couple weeks ago, the idea of a small Atlanta base was floated. Apparently UAX has 13 CRJ flights into ATL most/everyday and XJT was going to go after those flights. But nobody hold their breath, it’s up to UAL though.

Have faith and understanding your answer will be soon. Might not be what you want, however it will be good for all involved.

How does this support the theory of a buyout? What would a buyout do to stem attrition? Any buyout would be akin to a minority investment like Commute-air. United has no desire to own a regional, nor would doing so “secure” regional feed. As XJT pilots leave, the aircraft will be transferred to the remaining regionals that can staff them. This has been the SOP for the last 5 years.
Continental management for the most part runs United now. They sold Continental Express because Continental needed cash. They may be looking at what Delta and American has done with reacquiring regionals and thinking about the same thing. |

None of this matters if these rumors don't turn into a nice chunk of cash getting infused into the XJT pilot group now. The smallest mention of Brad Rich and all of you wash women are creaming yourselves. By the way it sounds, I'm pretty confident there was a line of XJT people waiting to give him a handy in the men's room. Who cares if they buy us. If it doesn't result in competitive compensation immediately then it's time to go.
Reference the C5 experiment. Buying a stake in that company didn't turn things around. |
