You are right. For once.

As far as parking the 145, I’d be more worried if I flew for someone like Skywest than XJT. As the 50 seaters age out and go away, United will most likely concentrate flying in the regionals that exclusively feed United. The 145’s are paid for and renting someone else’s makes less sense. A company like Skywest will most likely continue to fly the 175, but will lose the 50 seat flying as it goes away. And yes, United will continue to take pilots from XJT and others as well. You act like XJT is some kind of poison pill. They are just another regional like Skywest or Republic, and United is just another legacy. There is no gold standard in this business.

You’re right they are just another regional but they are the only ones hoping the demise of Gojet so they get more 175’s. As well as hoping for Mesa’s airplanes when in fact XJT is shrinking! They refer to OO as Skypest. Do you see where I’m going with this? You don’t see Republic or Skywest jumping over joy for what is happening to Compass do you? How about CommutAir they aren’t celebrating about getting XJET 145’s are they?

There are approximately 1380 pilots at XJT. I seriously doubt your observations accurately represent the opinions of the majority. Pilots are people. Sometimes people don’t think about the consequences before they wish for an outcome. No pilot I know wants any other pilot from any other company (with the exception of Skypest) to suffer any loss or concession in their careers. There are zero celebrations. Because of Expressjet’s history with all of the serious ups and downs, I feel it is perhaps the most humble group of them all. For the first time, in a very long time, some things are changing in a positive way for those that have been at XJT the longest. It’s only human nature to be somewhat excited about that.
