United had to dump them somewhere and you were it.
Also, the start of the end was losing your 175s to MESA.
Skywest got the Xjet 175s. Mesa bought their own.

Regardless crappy position for both airlines.

This is why EV is probably going to win this one if UAL is serious about chopping an airline.
C5 couldn't grow because it's pay was crap and pilots were scarce. That problem has been fixed now.

If this were the case-

Whats to prevent them from just putting XJT’s management in charge of C5’s pilot group? People didn’t want to go to Commutair and it didn’t grow because in the age of “1500 hours and go to your choice of regional” they couldn’t compete. There’s already 1000+ unemployed 121 pilots right now. Attracting new hires will not be an issue.

you are literally the dumbest person to post on this forum and that’s saying a lot. ExpressJet was growing Pre-Covid and C5 took the old XR’s to open 175’s for XJT, when they left, XJT was given a DEN base and more block hours, C5 wasn’t. Even now the August schedule is increasing for XJT and C5 flying has now been reduced by 10 daily departures as ZW moves back into IAD which is the ONLY base C5 operates out of. There has been an addition to XJT flying, not a reduction. Lol you are dumber than sh**... anything can happen but you don’t know anything about this business.

This statement has so many holes in it I won't bother fully replying.
Check the C5 departures from IAD again. Then ask someone how United gave most of C5s flying to ZW for August because United scheduled C5 a ton of flying from EWR which NJ and NY governor pulled the pin last minute.

I think it's you who don't know stuff. Good luck tomorrow.

hate to burst your bubble, but c5 is done. If United was interested in c5, they would have asked for concessions from you also. Why not try to get whoever is left, as low as possible? Make it a cage match between both carriers, lowest bidder “wins.”

What reason is there to think that any government official had anything to do with C5 flying at Newark?
