I love the fact that people give their opinions and have no clue whats going on. All of the 145's that are operated by UA were all bought by Continental and transferred to UA when they merged. They have a ton of 135/145's in the desert that are paid for as well. The TSA, XJT and C5 145's were all UA birds and they can move them freely to whoever they want to.

And as hateful as his response is....maybe don’t talk smack if you can’t handle the reply.
In mking84’s defense......I actually know him personally, and he’s also a total a-hole in real life....lol

Great. Another "mainline" guy that knows everything and does not like being told he does not know what is going on in the industry so he attacks those that point out his mistakes. Enjoy Skypest.

In reality almost all aircraft are in some sort of lease arrangement for FASB accounting reasons. What we should speak of is who controls the asset. In this case United. Many of Skywest's and Republic's aircraft are leased but by them not their 'mainline' partner.

It is definitely a pick your poison decision. There’s no right or wrong. Me personally I’d rather be furloughed here and come back to a $170-200hr job than be at a contractor never knowing if my company will survive the next cpa bid with a major. But, There’s something to be said about the guys who stayed at express for life, never missed the holidays or kids events, and got the schedule they wanted.

Near as I can tell, most of the Republic birds are owned, not leased. I've found a few registrations that have a bank as the owner, and 741-753YX are owned by United, but the overwhelming majority seem to have the owner as Republic Airways, Inc. Of the 40 or so I checked, only 2 have had someone other than Republic as the owner.
