WHY? There’s zero benefit to united as a company to do this. The pilots at UA - great benefit. But as far as expense there’s no beating the regionals yet. No staffing issues now either. No bonus not problem.
By creating better utilization of the 70-76 seat fleet UA can use the block hours the 50 seaters were flying to move more pax without any sort of scope relief. Mesa has some very talented people in scheduling. They can take crap pairings and create highly efficient airframe use. I’m sure others can as well. Some 50 seat filler will remain.

United Alpa, or any good union always has or creates negotiating capital, they only need to decide what is quid pro quo, and what is a concession, and what is a collective gain.

Maybe just holding the line and destroying UAX next April makes the whole paradigm better in a decade but it’s a long time to wait for many of us and the lack of competitiveness hampers United compared to Delta and American.
It is a sticky problem and Mesa being dirt cheap makes no difference if scope block hour limits result in half their fleet being parked.
I should have been a firefighter. I’d be retiring this year.

Word on the street is UA is only saving one 145 flyer. Between XJET and CommutAir, its said to be CommutAir. Cheaper workforce, less overall employees/facilities/leases, and less debt.
Its also said this is just a band-aid solution to comply with scope as more 550s are brought online. SK still adamant on getting rid of all 145s long term.
I wish all XJET guys best of luck and hope y’all land on your feet some where
