Keeping in mind of course AA has offered recall to all furloughed pilots Airways, United/Continental are hiring, 1500 hour rule hits in August and Jan 4th, 2014 new Flight Time, Duty time rules take effect...ABSOLUTELYOUTF!@KINGSTANDING! This next year is gonna be fun to watch.
Out of curiosity, where did you find that these United 170s are automatically going to Republic? You do know that OO is actively working on a 170 training program don't you? And that these United birds won't start flying anytime soon.

Really? I've yet to hear anyone refer to our company as such. But, I have heard the tag line "hired not acquired" in reference to "legacy" express

Wish I could say the same. Seems like every time I share a van with a SkyWest crew, some doofus asks "Have you considered coming to mainline". I say, well I have apps in like everyone else". And they say 'No, I mean SkyWest". #facepalm

Thanks for accusing me of making stuff up, Troll. I wish I was. I actually had that conversation in SAT last month.

Well in your defense, even APC has them listed as a MAJOR-NATIONAL-LLC company and not a regional.
