I am in favor of one list because it makes us more powerful in negotiating. In addition, it will be difficult to do under their new CAL CPA that last 10 years. They have to re-fleet some of the XJT jets under the agreement and the agreement is between UAL/ASA, so the new jets will have to come to new Atlantic Southeast under the CPA so ASA can get out of the terrible XJT leases on the jets, again listen to the earnings call it was all laid out. In addition, they mentioned considering buying Comair if it could be worked out with DAL for a long term CPA, they felt Comair may be a good fit.
And XJT does NOT pay for the leases of the aircraft on the Calex operations. Its not the leases that are killing XJT its the rate that XJT was forced to take because SKW whipsawed XJT pilots!
You mean he will give the courtesy of giving them interviews.

There may be some of the latest arriving ERJs still flying in another 10 years, but the reality is the oldest are now getting pretty old. Our oldest E145 has just gone through its 6th heavy C-check. I have heard Embraer has not yet even written the maintenance procedure for the C-7 check. Eventually it gets too expensive to keep the old birds going. At least that's what we hear from some of our guys who do this stuff in SHV.
My guess is the main body of the new fleet will be CRJ-700s. SKW will work out some deal with Calnited to allow 70 seaters to replace XJT 50 seaters. You watch, SOMETHING will be negotiated with the new United to allow it. I am not saying they will "cave" on scope, but they will make a deal that protects mainline pilots somehow while allowing new airplanes to be delivered to SKW. Either a flow-through or a furlough-hire with seniority and pay deal for mainline pilots or something. SKW isn't going to get 70% of United's RJ contracts without a deal that everyone can live with somehow.
