The word is that there are new cpa's coming republics way, but they must settle their labor issue before they can be awarded. It wouldn't surprise me at all if more flying was awarded soon after the contract is settled.

Sir, yes sir. But I'm pretty sure the XJT operation could fill in for YX/S5 as soon as United says the word...with their own E-175s to boot. The largest 50-seat pilot group in the country. United wants to slash those E-145s. You get the picture.

Lol. Keep telling yourself that xjt is ready for 175's. Do people not understand what it takes to add an airframe? Do you not understand that these 50 planes are purchased by RAH and under contract with UA? A contract. As in, locked in.
What incentive do the other Express/Connection carriers with no staffing issues have for covering the flying RJET already can't handle on May 6th, forget July 1st. There is none. |

Maybe I just don't get it, but why couldn't BB just say "sorry Delta, due to our long term 'one fleet strategy' and our difficulty attracting new pilots we are unable to extend the 145'contract." What am I missing?
BB: "ok, I'll get back to you. " (oh ******** that's a lot of money). "Ok delta, we'll keep flying them until the end of the contract" |

In addition to the 50 175s for united, didnt Delta extend 20 something 145 airplanes? I thought the RAH plan was to shrink the 145 operation to staff the 175s.
