How about this, United keeps the 175's for themselves, and staffs/operates them with mainline pilots offering all regional guys a chance to move up to the big time in short order :P

It'll never happen though, unfortunately.

I know it's already been said here, but it seems the FAA sequester has eliminated any chance California Pacific will get E175's for UAL. Just found this article...

FAA: Can't Process New CA Airline Application Due to Sequester - Really? :: Fox&Hounds

Also heard yesterday that the sequester is affecting the issuance of certificates for new training programs. Anyone else heard of this? Apparently, the FAA does not have the manpower to oversee the development of new training programs at any airlines currently. If this is true, then any carriers not currently operating the E175 would be eliminated.

Which is why OO put in for and got it approved at the end of 2012.

I'm 100% sure OO has done their homework...but at some point, don't they have to do proving runs? Has their E175 training program already been certified? Or did they just add the E175 type to their operating cert?

Right now finishing up a training syllabus, they've already selected check airmen for the program and will be sending them to Flight Safety after the busy summer schedule. 1st 175 is due in May-June2014.

I can find nothing in our OpSpecs or on the FAA website that would indicate our 175 program has been approved and added to our certificate. I'm assuming, though, that these sources are actually current.

That said, the sequester isn't going to stop this at SkyWest, even if the company has to pay the inspectors' salaries themselves. Too much is on the line at this point.

I believe before that can happen the training syllabus and MX procedures have to be approved which they're working on now and have been since January. I said we put in for and was approved to work for this certificate (application wise) I didn't say it was all done and we can start flying them tomorrow.
I'm sorry I wasn't clearer.

Yes, but OO bought their own E175's... the 30 UAL ordered are still floating around somewhere and it's yet to be announced who will be operating them. Most likely it will be a current E175 operator but who knows.
