Every day that goes by, is another warm body out the door. If United wants these planes to keep flying they need to do something soon. Kinda think the momentum is going to be really hard to stop at this point. Talking to FO’s heading for other regionals.

I agree. I get the feeling that UAL thinks this is 2012 when they could find a qualified but out of work and homeless pilot living under every overpass near an airport begging for work to fill classes at ExpressJet. At this point, it would take something over the fence to "right this ship" as the CRJ MEC chairman says and get potential new hires interested in working here.

It wouldn't surprise me if SKYW removes their 19 700s from UAL as part of a sale just to be able to staff AA flying in DFW.

SKYW can suck it!
With all the legacies taking flying back in house -and letting their wholly owned carriers do more of it, guess who is gonna be in a fix in a few years. And guess who will have the most senior and expensive seniority list of who remains to bid on what’s left.

Which company do you work for? What position do you hold? How many shares do you own if you are not employed by any airline?

Have you ever checked out their pilot recruiting page? They week after week after week post class photos. Just kinda eyeballing it looks about 40-50 or so in each class. And that’s for the CRJ. Erj usually has about 15-25. On paper those numbers might be down from the 60 that were in class a few years ago but the amount of people still going through their program is mind boggling. I don’t see any issues they might face.
"Chipster feels the pressure already as evident by the latest "TA". His soft landing plan also didn't work as planned ...
But don't underestimate SGU. The have plenty of short term contract - EAS flying they can "load shed" as required ..."
The above quote is from another Skywest source on APC.
Just pointing some things out. I'm not looking for a fight.
