This all sounds a little to convienent. Where is this RFP? Does anyone have a link to an official press release. Just curious cause there sure is a lot of speculation but no one can provide the proof United has released the RFP.

Knowing UAL they will spread it all around..... we shall see.

My prediction is that the jets will go to Pinnacle, TSA, and GoJet. The Q400's will either go to Colgan or Lynx, and Commutair will be awarded the Dash 8 flying.
Other airlines like XJT and AWAC simply can't compete with the previously mentioned companies because our pilot cost is "too high". Any other guesses? |

you would be surprised.....................
I hope this goes to a more reputable airline.............. RAH has those EMB170's that were just removed from the Frontier system so I revise my previous guess and say the 70 seater's go to Republic and not GoJet. |

Is RAH reputable... I know they have big shiny jets, but what about their pay and work rules?

50 seat CA pay is better than AWAC. 170 pay is lowish, but 175/190 pay is almost identical to AWAC concessionary 146 payrates. FO pay? Well, THAT is a different story altogether. Work rules? No junior manning and iron-clad scope. No rigs, but most regionals don't have them either. |
again read the RFP CCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJs... ..maybe they don't care if the kids in the back are a tad bit more comfy...maybe they want to save on petro
|
This says nothing about CRJ's..... and even if it did, in the 70 seat arena UAL seems equally happy with both the -700 and the -170 product..... again, we shall see....... S5 already has 10 E170's slated to be added to our UAL operation by the end of the year or so.... i guess we will all have to sit back and see what happens.
