United carriers are going to struggle to get through this. As the planes move the staffing will lag behind and any pilot that can move out of the regionals will take that opportunity while in flux. This will hopefully lead to an overall pay raise for all the regionals as they compete for all of the pilots that will become unattached.

Not like Comair. There had been bad blood between Delta and Comair since the strike.

There’s a big carrot coming. I don’t think UAX carriers, specifically XJT, are going to have any issue staffing when this all plays out.

Endeavor already when though this same mess. Except it was called Pinnacle/Mesaba/Colgan at one point which had 3,000+ pilots.

I have no idea what United is thinking. C5 is increasing block hours n drastically increasing IAD operations while maintaining same hours at ewr per the company conference call today. They are also redoing our interiors of our 145s like xjt.
