UAL will look to just add the flying (out of LAX and SFO) to our schedule mainly due to the fact that we already have the a/c (plus all those UAL CR7NG’s scheduled for delivery about the same time the 73’s are being pulled), pilots and operations all already in place. They won't give the LAX/SFO flying to anyone else seeing that in order to do so would more than likely require an RFP plus startup cost/time/problems. So over time when UAL's cost decreases and/or yields increase along with loads, they will just place whatever their smallest, most economical mainline narrowbody back on the route (i.e. E190’s like a/c). At that point they will, without any restrictions, just pull SKW off those routes. This is the easiest, most efficient and cost effective way to remove their 73’s while maintaining a presence in certain markets until they can move back in.
They did this in the past (out of LAX and SFO) and they’ll do it as their 737’s come off line.
Now if UAL RFP’s go out for bid at someone else’s expense (Mesa) everyone else will be able to bid and will more than likely get some piece of the UAL pie in ORD and IAD but not LAX and SFO. After all; our LAX, SFO, DEN and ORD flying is under contract until 2017. BTW, the writing is on the wall……………………. just look at the opening of LAX for SKW plus UAL’s fall SFO schedule and you’ll see my proof.
I mean no offense to anybody and Good Day.

Let's just hope UAL is in business this time next year. From some buddies who have not much time left over there it seems the mood is to take the place down in a ball of flames with em...I wouldnt make any bets or guarantees on SKYW or anyones longterm future with UAL...PanAm, Eastern, TWA...I dunno...not trying to start a flame fest, but, It's looking pretty nasty

I disagree with you. I believe there was an United RFP sent out earlier this year which SKW didn't receive. Shuttle, AWAC, GoJets, XJT and others were bidding on what appeared to be mesa flying.
From all the rumors I've heard (which obviously are just rumors) we have as big a chunk of United flying as we're going to get.

I was asking Duvie who he worked for.

Hopefully nothing changes, and those of us with jobs are able to keep them.
