Yeah. I mean, if this was a viable option (50 seat jets in small markets), wouldn’t the big 3 just use some of their currently massively underutilized lift on it?

Serious question, what assets does XJT actually own as far as aircraft, rotable parts, etc.? Was the certificate surrendered when they closed? If not, then would they not be in the same situation where they have a very senior pilot group who is paid at the top of the scale?

Probably too good to be true but the 145 might be great for that.

I thought that all of the aircraft that XJT flew belonged to United regardless of where they are currently parked. This idea sounds a lot like Independence Air, and we remember how that worked out.

I don’t recall the details, but wasn’t there some type of contractual requirement to take employees if the certificate was purchased? If that is the case, in a market flooded with experienced pilots, why would a start up want to have labor forced on them when they can be selective in who they hire?
