It's only yours until you get too expensive (or difficult to deal with). |
You are correct. I learned very quickly not to believe anything regarding future plans even if it is straight from United. Things change on a dime with so many regional players in the game.

If you wander over to the Envoy form they are complaining as much as people are complaining here. They are even crying about Skywest taking 20 175’s that we’re “supposed to be Envoy’s” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My comment had two points. 1) there is nothing about UAX that will be United’s “downfall”. You under-estimate how replaceable you are. So did I, when I worked there. It’s a very common misconception that’s easy to have. 2) working for American sucks less than a regional, but it still sucks. People line up for a flow, because a sure thing is better than getting stuck.....but DAL and UAL don’t need a flow to attract applicants. |
I sure hope we get some replacements, and quickly. Only way to double the 145 fleet would be with replacements. And our replacements’ replacements. And, their replacements.

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.

Commuteair/xjt merge.
As far as I know those 19 remaining 175’s still have yet to be assigned to someone

What’s interesting when I talk to DAL pilots and my friends that are at DAL they are jealous of how many wide body jets at UA. UA has more top paying jobs then DAL, profit sharing isn’t a sure thing. My last trip talking with a DAL crew about progression. I told them I had 16 years left at UA and I will retire as an equivalent as a 767 CA. The new hire FO (same age) will write as a NB CA. it’s all perspective |
