What's New XJT
Yes, but they are also keeping the 40 175’s they were already flying for UA, those have been extended 5 years. IAH is going to be XJT’s smallest 175 base so there may be some rebalancing. Realistically we have been exchanging 175’s for 145XR’s.

Last class to have someone awarded the 175 was in January and ORD is the junior 175 domicile. Lots of 175 peeps in ORD trying to base trade south to Houston. Anything is possible but I would consider 175-IAH unlikely for a while. 145-IAH definitely possible.

If you want ORD or IAH you should get it out of training on the 145 side. This is true for the last two classes that got assigned bases, and I think this will stay true for IAH for at least a while

I see XJT becoming the lead regional for United. This is not a bad place to fly for at all. We went from 7 year upgrades to you need 1000 of 121 and you upgrade immediately. Compared to other carriers we are performing really well and United see that. I would really love to see Mesa leave Houston if not shrink dramatically.

I think he’s eating the koolaid straight out of the packets. Then washing down with water...
Mesa doesn’t have any birds coming off CPA for at least 5 years now. I can see republic being pulled back up north and Skywest pulled west but that’s it.
United doesn’t want a lead regional.

Don’t buy what the company is saying. With the 175’s going away, all those senior 175 Captains are going to be going back on the 145’s possibly sending recently upgraded 145 captains back to being FO’s. From what I’ve heard expect 4/5 year upgrades again.
