The misconception is that the 175s are replacing 145s. This is simply not true. They are replacing 700s/900s because of scope. The United scope clause allows for a virtually unlimited number of 50 seaters. The 145s are not going anywhere. United wants more of them flying, not less.
While it's true that United wants to keep the 50 seat fleet flying, they may not have much of a choice moving forward. Increasing fuel costs along with scope, combined with the lack of new 50 seat designs other than the as-yet-unproven MRJ may force them to simply make XJT a smaller 175-only carrier.

C5 has taken delivery of 4 XRs from XJT inventory over the last two months alone. We're taking all of your XRs and XJT will be left with LRs and new 175s.

And what do you mean about scope? The 175s are the scope limited aircraft, not the 145s. United showing preference to put 175s at XJT does not keep XJT small. It’s the exact opposite. It’s growth.
And a 50 seat SpaceJet? Huh?

And then what happens to C5? Come on man get real. You need the XRs because you are on the east coast. United has told XJT they will pull as many 145s out of the desert as they can staff. Who gives a rip if they are LRs? Pays the same right?

Junior line holder for August in EWR is a 10/22/18 hire. That should come down in the future. Last NH class got all 175 but I don't know what the plan for the future classes is.

Why would you not go to PSA, Piedmont, or Envoy? You have a guaranteed flow there. Not to mention PSA's pay is much better. United will take your CPP slot (assuming you pass) away for the littlest of infractions.

WOs are not a party either. You guys have to understand that 9 out of 10 pilots on APC talks sh*t about their regional and tell us to go somewhere else lol. Go to piedmont or envoy thread, your eyes will bleed
