"their" NOT "thier" but you're consistent. Spell ck automatically corrects so maybe this is deliberate.
Another common one is your for you're.

Agreed. I still hope you get hired at mainline. I also still want the quality of the mainline job to stay intact. When October comes, I WILL be furloughed. I accept it. I will scramble to find the best interim job I can. If that doesn’t work, I will come be YOUR FO, and do it without pride or arrogance. I have a family to feed. ONE thing will allow me to do that without crushing my soul.......the knowledge that I have a job at UAL to come back to, that’s WORTH coming back to. No concessions. No givebacks. No expansion of regional flying at the expense of mainline. Good luck to all, but mostly me. (That last one is a joke)

Just remember, it's not regional pilots that vote on those concessions, it's your fellow mainline pilots who do! You will probably see some flavor of those this time around too. And when the money is dangled to reward those working for mainline rates now at the expense of those looking to move up in the future, what do you think will happen? My hunch is that a majority will vote them in. I hope I'm wrong!

I guess my big question is why all the mainline pilots are so F'ing interested in what's going on at the regional level. Or is it just the junior mainline guys who are going to be on the street in a few months that are here to stir up the pot? Misery loves company!

What you are missing is quite a few of us came from Xjet and have many friends still at Xjet.

You are correct sir, never was that great in English class Mr Rauscher and Sister Donna would be disappointed lol. You know what I was good at communicating or getting my point across, sorry I misspelled some word my bad, but that was not my objective. Communicating my point was.

expressjet is setup for success to weather the storm. Furloughs are unlikely on our side due to the projected demand pickup by fall that will be able to fill our planes, but not 175s, 737s, etc.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I do to and I want you to KEEP YOUR JOB and help bring me and all the XJT, Mesa, GoJet and every other regional pilot with you. I was corporate guy for many years tried to help anyone I could get a better life whether it was corporate or 121. I came to this side few years back had a chance to go to an LLC and did not go because a program was put in place for me to get to a mainline. I F'd up and stayed here. I gambled and I lost. You gambled and won. I wish the mainline Union would put in place a real minor league system. Meaning we fly in the regionals and when number called we flow up and when something like Covid-19 happens you could just flow back. Yes pay cut and all but still be working. Look I don't have all the answers. I have ideas and one of them is we need to stop fighting amongst ourselves and pressure ALPA whom represents both our pilot groups to pressure United management to take a look at my idea or ideas like it. So that we all get to play in the sandbox together. For all the grammar Nazi's out there hopefully I got this one right don't want the ruler against my knuckles. For those old enough to remember those days.

He was probably referring to your English skills. That's something that seems to be rather prevalent at your airline!

Compared to other regionals, XJT made significant cost reductions to reduce risk, i.e. ending the 175 flying and transferred that risk to SkyWest. The CRJ200s will be eliminated. The ERJs have another 10 years of lifespan. We are in a great position to due to our size—not too big and not too small. Larger regionals and majors will see the most pain in downsizing. We downsized in the good times, but now I anticipate we will end up with more opportunities in the months and years ahead.

😂😂😂😂😂

With any due respect.
You are funnier than Jay Leno and full of more crap than the all of the toilets at O’Hare airport.
ExpressJet didn’t “end the 175 flying and transfer risk to SkyWest.” United Airlines did that for ExpressJet.

I’m sure the folks at SkyWest are immensely grateful for the added “risk” - if there is any.

As for the rest of your post, keep drinking the Kool-aid from SH and Subodh.
