ExpressJet is no different. United went out and bought a flight school instead of offering UAX pilots a flow. Pilots are lined up out the door to go to the AA wholly owns because they have a guaranteed job at American and XJT has parked airplanes due to lack of pilots. People are jumping ship as soon as they get 1,000 hours. Aviate won't be enough to get pilots in the door to XJT going forward. This will ultimately be United's downfall when there are no pilots left to fly their feeder system routes across the board.

We are finally starting to see these mis-managed regionals that don't care about their pilot groups start to implode (Compass, now TSA). These companies won't be around much longer if they don't offer a flow to a LLC or start paying REAL wages. 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.

If we get DEN I see it being a 145 base UNLESS they move our IAH 175s to DEN. Thats the only way it could work with 25 airplanes. Mesa came in and took our order for the additional 39 175's in 2020. We can't get more 175's unless someone else looses 70 seat flying due to scope. Had we gotten those airplanes I think XJT would have at the very least kept up with their attrition. Now, its back to net losses in pilots. People don't want to come here to fly a 35 year old 145 with no guarantee of a job at United in the future. Aviate is NOT the same thing as the AA flow.

I don’t think they were “ours”. We just expected to get them.

Delta is on top, and they don’t have a flow.
UAL is in second place, and haven’t had a flow for years.
American has had flow for YEARS, and they are solidly in third place. That’s for profitability AND most people’s desire to work there.

Laughable! It’s not going to be their DOWNFALL. Besides....there will still be pilots left to fly their feed. UAX is full of lifers and people who don’t yet realize they’re lifers.

Our last two classes had 8 and 7 pilots total per class! What’s your guess on how many show up tmrw?
