I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Now that I’ve moved on to mainline I cherish my time there more than ever. One observation, Subohd likely cooked this up on his own and is using this crisis as a ploy to exact concessions from the best darn pilot group in the industry. I hate to see u guys suffer BUT please don’t fall for the oldest trick in the book. We HAVE seen this movie before: You agree to concessions and then oops . . . Commair and Expressjet will both survive. You will just have much less pay. Shame on your weak arse MEC chairman. Stay strong. Don’t fall the oldest ploy in the book.

Commutair has something like 2000 seats to its name.
If there is a rebound of customer demand, how will United feed its network with 40 airplanes of 50 seats?
They will need a feeder that can support nation-wide operations for the smaller 50-seat market.
I think that will be XJT. Certainly Whiskey nor Commutair could fill this role. Honestly, and no offense to commutair - but you think United will put all of its chips on the 50-seat market to either of those companies?

again, I absolutely hope that doesn’t happen. Just think it’s a possibility.

I agree with this. Everyone keeps repeating that Kirby wants the 50 seaters to go away, what’s he replacing the lift with when demand returns? We’ve all got a wish list.

The irony is, UA is going to have both C5 and XJT get their labor groups to give massive concessions on already pitiful wages. One of them will still go away, and the other will just be there working for less. So in a perfect world, they should both hold ground and at least go out holding their heads up high.
