After the 175's gone and pilots punching out to other carriers, where will XJT get pilots to staff those ancient 145s?
Unless if United already knows that there will be an economic downturn with the virus and max issues.

Not sure why any current 145 pilot would feel the need to get up and leave right away. Also a lot of the 175 staff, FO side at least, are relative new hires that would owe back some bonus money if they left.

Absolutely hilarious move by ExpressJet/United/Mana to lure in new hires with the expectation of flying the 175, only to pull the plug a year later knowing that said new hires can’t leave unless they pay back the bonus.

Y’all got PLAYED hard.

Bait and Switch tactics!

A new hire shouldn't care about the airframe. Take whatever airframe will get you your time so you can move on. Heck, if anything the -145 has an advantage as its the same type as the Legacy.
For new hires who got the -175 this will be a good thing. They get another type rating out of the deal. That looks good on an application.

Yep, I’m sure they look at it that way. Bet 50% leave up and leave.

exactly. When the xjet newbie, and kcavaitor’s apps get to a major, guess which one looks better?

good response. No one got played. They are still getting paid, getting a second type rating, and getting more hours and less reserve than any other regional. Get in, get out.

Said it multiple times, if and when EWR is announced as closing and no IAD base or similar.
