I can speak for YX and say they're currently negotiating a valuation of the company and waiting for our stakeholders to approve a change to our bylaws that allows us to issue an equity stake to the Treasury.

There's almost always a way.
I don’t know either, but people running around saying that XJT will be around as long as United is are selling a false hope. XJT could survive, thrive, or fail during this mess. With the comments made by United about 50 seat flying, and the devastating impact on the airlines that this pandemic has caused, XJT is far from a sure bet.

Can Republic file bankruptcy again since they already filed a few years ago?
We have a good cash reserve lying around, and while it's drastically reduced, our income from our CPAs is not zero. Beyond that, I don't have specifics. We are definitely trying to streamline/cut costs right now. We let go 5% of our workforce today, all non-crew. Sad times for a lot of good people.

We asked for $271 million and received $206 million. That was equal to the 74% pro-rata everyone else received. I don't believe there was a way to "inflate" an asking amount as it was based on readily-verifiable payroll data from last year.

No idea about the bankruptcy. I don't think that is an imminent concern.

My soon-to-be CEO said he doesn’t foresee any 50-seaters operating after this is all over. (To paraphrase)

*that would include the CRJ550, I would imagine. Not so good for you. Ideally, ALL the 50-seaters get shut down and mainline carriers hire all those pilots when things recover. Except maybe you.........

Meh.....you can come, too.

Scott Kirby is doing another town hall next Friday. Hopefully he clarifies what he sees for the fleet. Is it almost gone, a thing of the past, or a significant reduction? Either way, being on a 50 seat jet is a risky spot going forward.

You think? Skywest loaned 26 mil to Kair enterprise ( UAL investors group) what happens when they default on the loan? Investing 101, don’t borrow money to invest..lol
Would SkyWest take the company over again since UAL can’t own a regional?
