Does anyone know when XJT will start getting these 36 airplanes and losing the 175’s. Are the upgrade times expected to go up or be shorter with the 11 airplane net gain?

Anyone who hasn’t started yet or interviewed yet will never have to explain that decision of course... I agree equipment isn’t the way to pick jobs, but in this case it becomes a proxy for the health of the company. Good company, not so great contract.

First 175 leaves im March..

AMCND, are you at SkyWest?

701EV

The company basically conned them. Up until yesterday they had banner ads everywhere with shiny 175's on them, with words specifically like "brand new 175." Kudos to them for walking out, it sends a clear message to management. Stop messing around. Hopefully they all walk out and no more come until we have a leading contract. This is simple supply and demand free-market economics.

Don’t forget that there are still 19 options left on the table left over from that Mesa deal. Reading their forums it appears that they are wondering how they’ll staff the new aircraft. Republic seems to be concerned about staffing too. This is going to get interesting as we move forward

those 19 options don’t even come into play. A lot more has to happen to make them FIRM orders. Where does Republic come into play in all this?

just pointing out staffing frames is a concern to them too. The big the regionals fly for all three majors. If another expansion comes their way the crunch will be on staffing

If it’s not a public process how does everyone claim regional xyz under cut everyone?

And some regionals have people swimming in a pool for a class date so staffing won’t be an issue. The pilot shortage argument has been going on for 10 years
