Too Little too late. Pilots entering the regional industry know they can expect to be making CA pay in 24-36 months at pretty much every regional... except XJT.

Six months is a long time in the regional airline industry. I could make convincing arguments for eventual 3 year upgrades here and for continued 9 year upgrades. Nobody really knows what we will be like in 2 years. I drive to work, enjoy my job, and have a solid backup plan. This has been a great place for me.

Just throw another 1.50 on it. That will take care of everything.

They have stated many times that they see a viable demand for 50 seat lift into the future. I dont see anywhere that they say they are shutting down XJT. If you are so sure that is happening then you should be long gone to Commutair or somewhere else!



According to the last 10Q, there haven't been any short term extensions. But I do agree there will be a viable 50 seat market. UAL has a press release stating they are planning on having less than 100 fifty seat regional jets by 2019. UAL has given TSA 40 of the 145s (plus the dozen they already had flying for UAL) and Commutair another 40 more. And Skywest also operates 54 CRJ 200s for UAL as well. That all points in one direction to me. But that's just my educated guess. I could be wrong. I could just hope...

Poor thing. Looks like someone hurt you're poor little feelings about XJT. I remember when we used to respect each other at XJT. I guess those days are gone. Let me guess, you work on the delta side and were ASA.

FYI. Commutair will have 61 ERJ-145's. They are getting 40 ERJ's on top of the 21 Dash planes that are being replaced by 21 ERJ's starting next year.

The total fleet count as it stands now will be 61 ERJ's as soon as they can get them from XJT with another 20 on option for C5.

Can you link to an announcement that says 61 + 20 options. Pretty sure its 40 +20

You will not find a link. Just ask any new hire, the chief, or CEO what the plans are. It is a good time to be at C5.

Just watch for a big announcement from a different regional about EWR in about 9-12 months.

With the Delta and AA wo's stepping up the game with pay rates and bonuses,XJT would have to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $65-70k for fo's to top them.I'm not saying it won't happen, but it's highly unlikely Skw will come off of that kind of cash for a company that they obviously plan on shrinking.
