I hope Xjet is successful. I hope that United really does this program right by them and they are unshackled. I think Xjet’s pilot base is doing the right thing when this gets approved and they can see what transpires between now and February.
And, as far as Mesa goes, if everyone’s $$$’s go up then that will cause upward pressure for Mesa’s $$$’s. You can’t operate a regional very long without attracting new hires. And, as a public company, you will have an investor revolt if you can’t keep pace. Mesa’s management is smart enough to know that.
In reading over the SkyWest 10Q recently, the only disappointment I had was that United has a 120 day cancellation clause on the CRJ200’s. I guess they need that in case the ASA guys don’t stick around in the desired numbers.

You didn't comprehend what the quarterly said about the 120 Day cancellation. If INC is in breach of contract then United would not need a written "cancellation policy" as you surmised. The express jet 200s are a three year deal. INC Prorate flying has the 120 day cancellation policy.

Your reply doesn't give me confidence that you understand what the loss of airplanes will do to Mesa directly and indirectly.

And, people have predicted the surmise of Mesa for a long time. I don’t worry about it. Some of our CPA’s with United are long-term deals. We will be flying for United for at least the next 10 years.

They are just ****ing on it because that is what they do. Republic has to be upset because your labor costs will be lower than theirs and you will take some of the 175 flying away from them.
I look at the contract with it’s outs in January 2019 —- which probably means everything SGU has planned has fallen through —- as a positive. It means you will know where you stand in February 2019 a little bit better. That is only 5 months away and worth the wait for many.
If the 175’s come, that will stem some of the CA departures. The 175’s and the up to $40k in signing bonuses will attract new hires that might have not given Xjet even a look. Once you start growing your pilot base again, good things will happen.

Also, the United MEC wants all 175’s as mainline aircraft. It doesn’t matter who flies them or who owns them. The 175 fleet will be mainline flown. I don’t have a clue whether that will really happen. I am certainly planning that it doesn’t.

Read earlier the clauses in this thread for early renegotiation of the TA. Those clauses aren’t in there unless SGU didn’t plan this. They have no interest to renegotiate another agreement in a few months.

Nothing in the Xjet TA is going to be there unless SGU wants it to be there. Do you really thinking Xjet management is making these decisions on their own and in a vacuum?

The United MEC has so far been negotiating the 175’s coming back in-house. If they are successful in negotiations, they have control.
