I heard that they were going to either Great Lakes or Key Lime Air.:eek:

NO WAY!? I heard we were going to buy Lufthansa. We're going to be Lufthansa America express, 747 service to Liberal, Dodge City, Hays, Kearney, North Platte, Scottsbluff, then Denver....Load factor: 18%!

American just extended the chq contract a few months ago.

Late last year it was extended for 18 months. So there less than a year left on it.

Rumor is starting to make it's rounds again at Compass I hear... Like FlyingKat said, someone needs to start the hiring soon.

They get their own handed down by big jerry if united doesn't play ball.

FWIW, due to the sequester, the FAA has indicated that there will be no new type certifications from now through the end of 2014. So, the airplanes will have to go to an airline that currently has a E170 on their certificate. SKW got around this by applying for the new type before the sequester began.

Food for thought.

Current E170 operators:
1) California Pacific
2) Compass
3) Republic
4) Skywest

ExpressJet have been adding the E175 to their certificate for a few months now too. Management have made mention of it in several of their communications to the staff.

TSA
Compass
Mesa

In that order. Read the fine print, they MUST go to an ALPA carrier.

Where does it say they must go to an ALPA carrier? I would imagine UAL will place the planes wherever they please
