Default United EJet Order?

Any updated rumors from your flt ops/sim instructors/schoolhouses/grapevines on which underpaid pilot group will fly those 30 E-Jets United ordered?

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

Of course! Right when I've got one foot out the door...

That jet...it's so shiny...I can see my face in the polished aluminum.

Is there any way I can go back to first year new hire pay just to have the opportunity to engage that autopilot?

Where you headed? Movement on the CA side at Lakes would be shocking! Seems like only the FOs have been leaving. You get your 1K TPIC?

Nowhere yet, but I've got some things in the works. I do have my thousand and there have been plenty of CA's leaving lately. I've taken up somebody's seat long enough. It's all yours! I'm ready for some clear right.

Heard a rumor that Tran States may be in on some of them. Heard Mesa too but I don't think they have any 50 seaters to trade for them like TSA does.

Whoever gets them United will have to move soon as the first ones are supposed to arrive in January 2014, and they will have a heck of a time staffing them if it is new growth.

I'm surprised XJT isn't getting any. They have a ton of 50 seaters. Chautauqua is also coming up on the end of the "American Connection" which I believe is going buh-bye as soon as their contract is up. We shall see in due time.

Good for them! I hope it goes to someone who deserves it, rather than into the hands of mesa.

American just extended the chq contract a few months ago.
