Where can I look up what the bids were? It would be an interesting read.I wouldn’t say Delta made a mistake they have very deep pockets.

If you were trying to be real there would be a balanced supply of positives and negatives coming from you. "There is no agenda" - fake news!

You are right, that’s why Southwest is struggling to keep afloat

It's okay, writing isn't everyone's forte, you can still have a good career as a pilot without that ability.

XJT training department was already prepared for the E175, this will be an easy transition for our company. One more thing, what makes you think UA would let us fail and keep all the other regionals around? You are not too familiar with the history of the majors and it shows! The more regional partners they have, the more chances of whipsaw and keeping cost under control.
speaking of kool aid, these clowns are already talking about getting United flow. wow, just wow

You are really defending your position of calling someone "blind and feverish" when it was pointed out that shortcomings were acknowledged? I suppose upon reflection dear reader I erred. (See, there's more balance.) It was your weak grasp of reasoning that was in question. That will impact your professional career. Your situation is much more dire than I first suspected.

No need to have a conniption fit, I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of you calling someone else out for being a kool aid drinker.

Coolaid drinkers don't acknowledge shortcomings on their part. XJT has significant challenges to overcome from the ten years of losses and lack of investment into operations that Skywest subjected them to. But the flamers on here overestimate the ability for a company to come back. As has been pointed out numerous times this industry is cyclical. Republic was in bankruptcy quite recently and now they are doing well.
No conniption fit here, I am doing a home monitoring log of my blood pressure and I passed with flying colors this morning. The only conniption fit seems to be "white coat syndrome" when my doctor puts the blood pressure cuff on.

Hey clown, a flow is a possibility if UA cannot recruit the appropriate number of pilots they need at XJT. I think it's a slim chance right now since our classes are filling up.
