It did. But that doesn’t mean their wasn’t some back room negotiations by SKW. My guess is this was to fulfill the multi class jet agreement that Skywest made when they sold XJT. UA scope isn’t changing any time soon and this was the only way make that agreement whole.

The slide deployments, massive sick calls by senior ASA pilots and other issues didn’t do us any favors.
Only operating 25 would have made the program too expensive for United’s liking. No way they planned to bring them here just to remove them. That’s terrible PR.
somehow I don’t think many TSA guys will come here if they can find a home at SkyWest in Denver. Why step from one sinking ship to another?

Probably just wording that Skywest gets the planes if XJT couldn’t get the program up and running or fulfill the reliability requirements.

Agreed. There's no reason whatsoever we shouldn't get endeavor rates if they can afford to throw all this bonus money at new hires. Show me the money or else I'm out.

It sounds like a united strategy decision heavily influenced by what’s going on at TSA Holdings while we all operate in a pilot shortage environment. Way above and beyond us. We did a flawless introduction of the 175 to our fleet and took delivery of all 25 in just one year. Hats off to our training department for that exceptional feat.
