I think guys starting in the 11/27 class were hired as late as April or May 2006. A class or 2 seems to chew through 5 months of the seniority list.

What does it matter when the United announcement is? United has to balance one regional’s need against another. United isn’t going to screw their customers in the short term just to benefit Xjet. As long as there is a bid for 175 pilots in the next bid period, that means the 175 program is moving forward. And, a United announcement isn’t required to meet the terms of the TA, only a signed CPA for 20 175’s. The public United announcement could be done just before the 175’s start coming online.

So 60% of Xjet’s senior captains have some type of issue that no major will hire them, and you expect United to fix that? Good luck with that. It is always funny that we regional pilots don’t see our fellow pilots as overweight, inarticulate, lacking a degree, with bad attendance or training track records, or with a series of FAA deviations.... and we want United to fix that for us.
If United buys ExpressJet outright, and it implements a flow like the American regionals, United will implement United’s hiring and training standards at the ExpressJet level.
At least at 40%, you are ahead of Mesa’s 23%. And, Mesa doesn’t consider the CPP a joke. Mainly, because our CPP is down to 5 years of seniority and continuing to head south.

The fix for that is to have a VERY stringent probation period that will most likely weed out the problem kids. They might have to do a flow someday. I don’t think we are there just yet.

There is some truth to this. But I think as time goes on, you will see the requirements to flow at the airlines with WOs become more stringent.
