Still the looming option for 19 more 175s.. the simulator in Houston.. can Mesa staff those birds.. can xjt staff these 36 more 145s. New hire’s were attracted to the new bird. What’s gonna get their attention now? Aviate is cool but not a strong enough piece on the table

Hiring will take a hit without the 175s. But the Denver base will help.

From what I heard this morning.. the union and the company have come to an agreement on contract negotiations. Not just with rules but on pay a well. The company seems eager to get the deal done now and after seeing this news this its the reason why. Will it work? Who knows until we see what they come out with. Whatever they come with it better be good pay with those commuter hotels and other gains or else the company will see folk leave.
Hopefully it gets done at some point before October like the ALPA Fastread said earlier today.

We average about 6 hull cycles per day, age of XJT’s fleet ranges from 15 to 20 years old. These planes are getting old and tired. I’ve heard Embraer has to create a D-check for us given we are flying them this long and this hard. The 175 was the only glimmer of hope for a re-fleeting. I think this place is going to be the next Trans States. We will eventually claim insolvency too because of lack of pilots. United will just whip saw these 145s onto CommutAir and offer us a job there.
Ultimately, the jokes on us.

There was a bidding process? Who were the bidders and what sources do you have to confirm this?

My brother works for XJT and he solely went there to fly the 175, I can't believe that United would pull this stunt after XJT seeing light in the end of the tunnel and some deserved sunshine after a long time. This is like putting lipstick on an ugly pig and pimping it. Yes the joke is on the pilots there very sad day indeed.
