I can’t speak for others but in my experience at Gama, when I was there it was AA, United, Delta and SWA a bunch.

Depends where your base is at. In DAL/DFW you see only SWA or AA and unfortunately it seems to always be AA lately. If you live in a Hub city for and airline like DEN your likely getting UA or SWA. No rime or reason but yes the big 4 with occasional JetBlue mixed in. We don’t have JB serve in DAL but we did an on tour aircraft swap once and flew JB. It was a pretty good flight and service. I wouldn’t mind flying them again.

Great, thanks for the response. I live in a delta hub, so I wouldn’t mind that.

WUP announced today that they expanded the guaranteed pricing and availability options in all size categories. They are doing this using off WUP fleet operators and aircraft. Wish I had a crystal ball for what this means for the WUP fleet, but I can’t imagine they would be trying to expand the WUP fleet when they’ve just added who knows how many off fleet aircraft. I certainly can’t imagine this will help push them to make improvements for the pilots on the WUP fleet.

Yep nothing will change now! But to be honest do we know for sure if GAMA/WUP relationship is a long term or is it a matter of time?

Well, since the contract is only renewed for a year at a time (I think during the spring?), I personally think it's only a matter of time before they bring the WUP fleet, whatever that looks like, in house. I would assume they would move the flying over to the TMC certificate. Why would they continue to pay Gama a management fee when they could do it themselves? Assuming they keep the aircraft, I'm sure they will need most, if not all, of the current pilots, but I don't see Gama being involved in the long run.

I think you hit it spot on! Which make one wonder do they even care to help with the pilots QOL as it won’t be there problem soon enough? With out getting into a full on debate I have tried to do my best in comparing TMC pilot ( Captain only) to a GAMA ( Captain only). Besides a few isolated improvements all GAMA pilots would be taking a huge financial and QOL step backwards.
