Highly doubt that, not saying SKW will get it but UniCal needs another Q carrier to use in the whipsaw.

Have they cancelled all the classes or just upgrade classes? Seems odd they would cancel FO classes if they need pilots that badly.

Only CA upgrades are being postponed, they will continue them once they catch up on FOs.

Understand that there is no communication from Mgmt on this; we just know that all upgrading CA’s have been told their class is postponed but the transitioning EMB FO’s (EMB FO – RJ FOs) still have their classes scheduled. I assume that all new hires still have the green light since we’re ridiculously understaffed on RJ FOs.

You do realize that UAL has like 10 UEX carriers, right?

I can guarantee you it's not because it affords them operational efficiency. Competing one supplier against every other seems to be pulled chapter and verse from the bible of modern American capitalism.

You obviously don't fly or connect for UAL.

Just as Golden Bear said, UAL has more contract-carriers to whipsaw against each other and anyone else. Heck they were the ones who took the whipsaw craze to a whole new level and used it to attempt to outsource their entire airline both domestically and internationally.

You apparently do not spend time on the east coast for DL.

So are you arguing that UAL has too many feeds or not enough? You seem to be whipsawing your own argument?!?
