The 175’s also aren’t all leaving tomorrow or at once. The aircraft will start to leave in April and it will take about a year to hand them all over. That is also the same timeframe the TSA-145’s should be returning to XJT.

Because XJT is picking up flying that was being done by another carrier the total lines will also stay the same or increase as 175 routes are traded for TSA-145 routes.

The 175 crews also have to be trained/re-certified on the 145. Which will take some time.

Will the super senior CA’s leave over this? I highly doubt it, at least not in mass. Seniority has its perks in pay and privileges, and I expect them to enjoy those privileges until they find something that makes it worthwhile for them to give it up.

Will some junior 175 pilots leave and go over to Skywest where they can get pay credit and fly the same aircraft for slightly higher pay. Yes some will, some 145 pilots may make that jump too.

Is XJT going to close shop? Nope, not for at least a few more years. Will this stop people from coming here? No it won’t. If people were coming here thinking they had a chance of the 175 as day one hires they weren’t doing their research. The 175 is only a fraction of our fleet

Is this the best news for the company? No it isn’t. Is this the worst news for the company? It absolutely is not.
