I also never said that XJT would get the new Embraer. I said it would be a replacement for the 145 as in an industry replacement for the 145. Akin to how the 737 and MD80/90’s replaced the 727.
Did you not have to study reading comprehension as a kid?

Nope. SK was quoted in a Routers article last week. Saying that airlines consolidating their regionals have “no clear value”.
I also don’t think there will be a merger. The only thing that’s coming is a base realignment, which we were told months ago was going to happen. Depending on if it’s your base or not will determine how “bad” that could be. If it’s your base your getting displaced. If it’s not a displaced pilot may find themselves further down the seniority list at their base.
I feel for the guys over at TSA. Canceling new hire classes doesn’t look good. Hopefully it’s just a temporary thing.

Base realignment is not good for anyone. If you are at the base displaced pilots come to you lose seniority and you have a bunch of ****ed off pilots to fly with.
With that said it isn’t XJT doing the realignment, it’s the mainline partner. To some extent you should have known that this is the business you were getting into before you ever signed up.
As far as TSA, I agree. They probably are not in the plans for any type of merger. Although nothing would surprise me. United can’t afford to watch any of their regional feed pilots walk.

Also, with the expansion out west, it would be interesting to see what effect it might have on the TSA Denver base. It seems like flying was already reduced in DEN for TSA.

The USA has never seen a supply and demand job market this lopsided in (favor of the pilots) as what is about to happen in 2020 and beyond.
