lol, you should see their forum. More inane posts like that. It is a fun game to them to see what regionals die while they continue to survive. "Hey look at us!"

If it helps you to believe that, then by all means, believe it.

I had good friends at Compass and TSA. Plus at Expressjet, and things aren't looking too rosy over there. It's awful when any of us lose our jobs. My point in that post was not gleeful...my point was that it was just so strange to be out there and see almost no mainline aircraft and absolutely zero other regionals (aside from one Horizon -400.) I was making a surprised observation, not trying to crow about the fact that OO is still doing a lot of flying. In the pre-covid world there was more than enough flying to go around...alas, come October 1, we're all going to be staring down a very different reality, no matter where we work. :(

Most regional forums on APC seem to be like that. If you're looking for intelligent conversation, a regional forum on APC isn't a likely place to find it.

The OO forum barely has any activity on there.

The Compass forums were still the best on APC

The Compass forum was like that nice neighborhood in the middle of Detroit. Nice people, good memes.

“Doctor, the COVID anti-body test for this man came back with a remarkable reading”

What did it say nurse?

”100% Kool-Aid”

My God, get this man out of here and into a cockpit! His company is understaffed as we speak!

Does the fact that United only sent letters to 2200 or so pilots say anything about their plan to lean into mainline vs express?

Considering UAL has one of the most restrictive scopes in the industry, and reduction in mainline flying is going to result in a proportional reduction in regional flying.

There’s a reason XJT sent its ENTIRE pilot group warn letters, and it ain’t good.

70-seaters are the ones which were already scope-restricted, and will be even more so once the entire scope look-back period encompasses the pandemic. There was still room under the scope clause to add quite a bit of 50-seat flying. On the other hand, SK signaled repeatedly that he doesn’t see a bright future for 50-seaters in the UA system. I guess that’s why even United doesn’t seem to know what the heck will happen to UAX carriers.
