Still a huge ramp up effort in ORD CRJ, particularly in regards to getting those CR2s rehabbed for reliable ops. And we still have quite a few waiting to join the fleet.
I’d expect some continued turbulence in January, but a smoother February. Assuming UAL doesn’t throw a ton more flying at us....

Remind me again why United is supposedly giving additional flying/aircraft to XJT?

Eh it’s all just a ploy from Skywest Inc. Let’s remember the timeline.
1. Skywest shoots down their “TA” with a massive NO.
2. 2-3 weeks later they announce XJT will get 175s if we pass our TA.
3. Our vote closes, we pass it and literally the next day the second Skywests TA gets released to their group which they pass.
Coincidence? Whipsaw? Lies?
Once they set our costs, they know the exact benchmark to do it cheaper.

If I recall correctly Republic was cancelling a LARGE majority of their flights for United, Delta and American a couple of years ago. You had planes parked everywhere because you had no one to fly them. Republic was the dying joke of the industry. It does not take much to turn things around when United or others want it to. We shall know soon..

Look back exactly two years, exchange ExpressJet with CommutAir. Why does UAL do what they do?
