Hmm... Maybe this will give me some sweet seniority in the EMB left seat...

You read what Skippy wrote in his email:

"We have to keep the conversation open about ways we can become and stay competitive – because it will be up to us to decide if these aircraft become replacement flying or new growth"

Watch for the threats of parking airplanes unless we take a hit in Pay Negotiations this fall. Even though we got the planes on order they are going to use them as bait material for concessions.

You only need to be cheaper than XJT. If you just hold the line and keep what you have, should be no problem.

Lakes doesn't fly jets and I don't think that DV actually wants to make money with Lakes.

Yes Nevets, You guys are so good you bought SkyWest.. Wait..

Sarcasm aside, I actually agree with, and appreciate most of your contributions on here.

They will pay us our 90 seat rates for it, and I am sure they will propose a pay freeze and throw reserves a bone (aggressive pick up or whatever). Other than that I don't think well be getting any raises next few year to stay "competitive" with Republic and Mesa etc etc..

But on the off chance you're serious....UAL is not going to give any flying to an "airline" which does not possess an operating cert and has never flown a single RPM

Because Gojet was around for years before their CPA with UA...

I'm going to apply to CAL Pac as an off the street Captain. Turbine PIC baby!!

As a United pilot, it's sad to see these airplanes go to anyone at all.

However, its even worse to see them go to a non-union carrier.

Just sickening.

Yes, look at all that 1.95% ALPA is missing out on with these E175's going to SkyWest.

The union reps might have to eat out at Applebees now instead of Ruth Chris Steak House.

Just sickening.

I would think turning down the Q400/ERJ145 in favor of the E175 at Republic would have more to do with getting the base you want rather than needing to have auto throttles.
