Most of us knew this when we voted. It’s too early to say which way things are going, but I still prefer to make more money while we wallow in the dark.

Maybe there isntruth to a buyout. And they want to announce both E175’s and buyout at the same time... or maybe there shopping junkyards for bids on scrap metal.... the longer it takes the better is my guess..

This. Filler.

There’s that, and there’s the “no announcement until AA flying is done” line too... which would be really frustrating because that means waiting until January....

If I am guessing, the E175 announcement is not waiting for the AA flying to be done. It will cause great problems at either Mesa or GoJet when the announcement is made, and I would think United would want to minimize that disruption.

I would think the AA flying will cause a problem with the secret clause being announced. But, maybe, for United, the two announcements go hand-in-hand.

Still worth waiting for until Feb of next year if a better job has not already presented itself.

The problem with them waiting is that we are missing out NOW on attracting new pilots. Offer that 40,000.00 bonus and advertise new 175's and they will come. It's only hurting the company by delaying.

Truthful, but that's going to be the new owners group to worry about.

What did the language of the TA say? You’re supposed to get 20 175s with options for 20 more or something like that?

I though UA announced 25 175s?

UAL announced 25, but only 20 are contingent in the Xjet TA. 25 700’s are definitely going away between Mesa and GoJet - just maybe not all to Xjet.
