I’m not at a regional but right now I’m interested in ExpressJet.
XJT is just salty that C5 is going to get the next batch of 175s. The mothership saw that it would help with recruitment in the short term, while keeping the pay below every other regional, just like at XJT when it was announced. Where there are shiny new jets, people will come!

I heard that C5 was going to be launch customer for the new Embraer Turboprop.

Did Boeing tell Embraer to manufacture it ? You said before Boeing told Embraer to build a new 50 seater!

I was talking with the C5 DO recently and he said that Subodh's original plan at C5 was to retire the Dash, transition to the 145XRs and then go dual type with the 175. Sound familiar to you guys?

C5 is going to stay a single type shop, if for no other reason than we don't have the resources to manage two types. Hell, they just sent company-wide emails asking for LCPs, ground, and sim instructors because we're bleeding talent.

Fortunately I joined just before United's puppet CEO took off to wreck XJT. All I can tell you is what I heard from other pilots here when they got to interact with the guy -- in short, Subodh absolutely hates pilots and thinks we're all a bunch of spoiled bus drivers. Needless to say, no one liked the guy and we were all really glad to see him go. Sadly, the jury is still out on our current CEO. He seems nicer than Subodh, but that's not saying much.

The one really funny story passed down during my initial training was how pi$$ed off Subodh got when, after continuing to wreck the airline by refusing to negotiate on pay and bennies, we were so short on sim instructors that they were being given huge bonus pay and one guy leveraged that to make more than Subodh did that year. Of course we can't have the minions making more than the clod at the helm, right? Naturally, he never did manage to fire more than two synapses concurrently, connect the dots, and realize this situation was of his own making, but that didn't stop him from forbidding the training department from paying premium after that.

What else can I say other than the airline business needs more Herb Kellehers and fewer Subodh Karnicks.
