Guess the UA FA’s didn’t give in..


Also announced today was the sale of ExpressJet from SkyWest, Inc. to ManaAir, LLC, in which United will take a minority interest.

This agreement is in full accordance with United’s labor contracts and does not impact pilot career path programs at our regional flying partners or other hiring activities at United.

For guys currently there, does this mean E-175 sims standing up in Houston or will guys get sent to a training center somewhere else?

I’m a Houston guy leaving the military in the next year and this is great news. Congratulations and I hope it means a great future for Expressjet.

I’ve heard there’s space for sims in Houston and the company was recently refinishing/painting some sim bays in there..... can’t verify it, but it’s what I’ve been told.

I’d expect sims in Houston, but I’d expect another location as well. Probably STL and...is it PHX that also has E175 sims??

Sim bay 1 is empty. So is the CAL training center across the parking lot apparently.

Embraer has the SIM that they use for new Ejet purchases in STL. That is where the instructors are learning to be instructors. I suspect the initial crews will be trained in STL on the Embraer SIM.

Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you guys. I can't think of a group of aviators that deserve some good news more than you guys.

I am non ejt or skw pilot, i would like to congratulate ejt pilots for the forth coming separation from skw. Blue skies ahead for you.
Also this should also put you at a higher classification for jumpseating on ual aircraft.
Again congratulations.

Classification for jumpseat will not change.
