The story goes that we have 101 on property, but are only currently able to staff 92. The hope is that all the CRJ guys and gals come over and we start working our way back up the count to 125 ERJ’s.
Plus, there’s the continuous rumor floating around that we’re “optimistic” that we’ll be awarded 25 700’s currently up for renewal/bid with UA, hence the “United flying only” strategy.

Planes are coming offline to go to C5, being replaced with LRs from the desert 1-1. No reduction in airframes. We actually seem to be liberal with sparing for now. I think we're carrying more aircraft than block hours for now. The system bid will cover an actual increase in block hours, so maybe some good news coming soon.

That’s exactly what it is. I submit that all who fail to bid (save those on military leave, etc.) get exactly what the contract stipulates, although the extra time isn’t a bad idea and somewhat welcomed. It’s a big move for a lot of folks.
There is a very good possibility there are many who are planning to leave and simply won’t update. Ever.

This has been communicated to the CRJ pilots over and over.

Now we are under the ERJ contract for system bids. If you don’t bid, needs of the company.

A lot has changed in the last week. I think XJT management (aka SkyWest management) thought they could secure some UA 700 flying. Only to get blindsided by UA ordering E175’s to replace the 25 CRJ700 contract they are dropping... and now Republic ordering 100 E175’s. XJT is left flying around it’s E145’s.... Realy sucks that by the time they stabilize XJT it will be to late.. Republic/Mesa/Endeavor will gobble up any growth thats out there...
