I can see UA taking that route mainline and putting the mini-bus on it.

However the 175 isn’t aspen certified. I can see UA taking that route mainline and putting the mini-bus on it.

Mini-bus to Aspen?
They are cutting the wings off?
FYI: The single engine go-around performance is not the only restriction in KASE:
"- ARPT RESTRICTED TO MAXIMUM ACFT WINGSPAN OF 95 FT."

Mainline won’t be doing it, ever, airbus won’t be allowed to do it either. There’s a 100,000lb weight limit.

Then why did the union let them do it?

i looked at their forum and saw republic pilots not wanting the planes because they can barely handle their current flying on deck. Skywest is just speciation.

I’m by no means an industry insider or even informed about my own airline. I do however understand that there isn’t a large pool of pilots available

So you're saying that the union is useless?

I mean isn't the union there to protect us against this sort of crap?
