As far as the Q's - Mesa. Last years RFP from UAL for the Q's suggests that Mesa submitted Dash 8 200 (or whatever model they had left) with those rates. I would imagine that even though UAL cut them off.... This is U f'ing Nited we're talking about. They're cheap a** bastards! My thoughts anyway. |

Here is my theory... Skywest is a likely suitor, but it does take a long time to get a training program AND proving runs completed. CommutAir doesn't have a chance. Their owner is extremely greedy and they are SUCH a small operation with only 200 or so pilots. You are talking about a 160% increase in operations in 6 months. CommutAir is out. Mesa has a Dash 8 training program with pretty low 70-seat wages. They could seriously take over this flying with a long-term deal and leases on the airplanes. Republic is a small possibility. Pinnacle. There is a good chance that these airplanes don't go anywhere. The BK declaration said that United and Pinnacle were in agreement on a long-term Q400 deal, however, Pinnacle could not submit a competetive bid for the business. If Pinnacle does (and they will) shed a bunch of labor costs via bankruptcy I think you could see a bankrupt PNCL submit a bid to keep these aircraft. HOW ABOUT UNITED FLYS THEM!!!!!!!! (every pilot who wants to fly for a career should hope, pray and demand that this happen) |
For the SCOPE gurus out there, now that Pinnacle has seemed termination of the UCAL Q400 flying, what happens next! My understanding is that UCAL is operating under one current certificate and are working towards a single contract! Can United redeploy the Q400s, are they still utilizing the CAL SCOPE, can they do that or do they need to follow the current United SCOPE. I know there are 2 separate contracts and pilot groups but the question is how will the new UNITED enter into a new feed contract, what SCOPE will they use. I have seen the media release that states another undisclosed United carrier will be taking over the aircraft.

Who wants the one that just had the nose gear up on the runway? Bet it's cheaper....

Note the extinguisher in the bottom right. Apparently PNCL didn't pay their crash fire rescue bill either. |
That looks like a great center landing though all things considered.
