Flying is down in the UAX system. UA is going to utilize the 75/70 seaters to the max until it needs more regional flights, and then add 50 seaters as needed.

Long term the 50 seat RJs are going to disappear just like the turborprops. United can fly as many turboprops as they want under scope and they currently don't fly any...

For the eleventy zillionth time...I wasn't trying to be an OO fanboy. I was honestly stunned at what I saw. It was spooky, is what it was. Not so much that the only airplanes we saw were OO, but that in 3 days I saw far more regional aircraft than mainline. There, is that better? I was simply trying to express how strange it felt, especially since I hadn't flown in 2 months and I came back to a spookily empty sky that was apparently populated by regional aircraft -- even at two major hubs.

Sheesh. Relax already.

Can any Air Wisconsin/CommutAir/GoJet folks chime in? What’s going on in that neck of the woods? Crickets?

Crickets at ZW...

Mostly crickets at C5. Block hours for August are less than July. One can safely assume it’s furloughs on October 1 without CARES 2.

Last we heard was a doubling of our block hours from July to August, a reduction of our downgrades by 2/3, but still expect furloughs. That was a couple weeks ago. No word on WARN notices yet though.

Doubling of block hours?During a pandemic? Who do you think you guys are Skywest ??🤣🤣🤣🤣
Last I read block hours increased by 1000 or so hrs, hardly doubling at all and furloughs guaranteed oct 1 .

2200 to 4400 would be double yes? I agree it’s not much, but it’s better then flying less than 2200 hrs the next month.

XJT increasing 50% out of ORD (4 daily to 8).

i like percentages..

...wouldn’t that be an increase of 100%?:)
