Nothing on the C5 forums. What will they shrink to the size of? What will be their single hub?

Before this all started we were almost at the 25 175’s and I believe around 60 145’s but we had 30 or so still parked waiting to be staffed. Now with the ex-TSA planes returning we have 130ish.

With the current seniority list how many aircraft need to be flying to prevent a furlough? What has attrition looked like since March?

Guessing off of the Updates from above, 480 captains needed for 80 planes. I’m guessing that’s roughly 900-1000 pilots. We got roughly 1400 on the seniority list at the moment.

We had some hope that we would be back in EWR in August as the UA timeline showed "operated by commutair" on many flights. Those are all Air Whiskey now for some stupid reason. Guess being #1 in metrics for a good part of June or 40% owned by mainline really doesn't mean jack **** to Kirby.
At this point I think C5 is doing pretty well under the circumstances, but we are still beholden to UA. We could die at the drop of a pen, much like any of their regional partners.

C5 guy here. We are basically a single base airline right now, operating exclusively out of IAD. 75% of our flying pre-covid was in EWR but no displacements have occurred (for now, that is) and they are presently deadheading all EWR based crews to and from IAD for every trip.

I believe he probably meant IAD. It appears according to the Aug UA schedule we lost a few to ZW in Aug but we also picked up a couple. Overall though like he said no displacement or base closure talk (yet) & no significant change in hours here but we have yet to get any info on our schedules for next month.
