This pretty much guarantees that LXJT is done in 2019. Between TSA and Commutair flying about 100 E145s that wouldn't leave any room for LXJT. I read that United will park about 100 E145s over the next 3 years and it seems all will be from XJT. Good news is they might get a small extension until 2019 but it seems that will be the end.

TSA was supposed to get 36. I've heard rumors that they are not going to take all of them now. Commutair is scheduled to get 40. UAL just said that they plan to park about half of the 50 seaters they have now. That leaves about the 125 scope choke that UALPA has in their contract.

The 40 additional E175s in 2016 are from Skywest, Republic and Mesa. More coming online in 2017 also.
The two companies that operate E145s for United are Expressjet and TSA. The losses are probably Expressjet's. And more E145 losses in 2017 probably.
The three companies that operate 700s for United are Skywest, Mesa and Gojet. Skywest, most likely will lose 700s.

Don't know about increased hiring. We've been at 500 pilots for about 12+ months now. No way to staff any more flying. We need more incentives to attract people, everyone is offering short upgrades now. We either need brand new 70 seaters or some kind of hiring agreement.

Like I said, it's a rumor. But it's only a rumor because it hasn't been made public.

ALPA is doing great! More jobs at mainline where total compensation is much higher is 100% the right direction to take things. Of course, there will always be regional airlines to fly some 200s to Minot and Podunk. So no need to worry about your Skywest going anywhere. Anyone with a plan b of going to mainline will be ok. But it's always good to have plan c outside the industry. That's what gives me the warm fuzzy feeling, not having all my eggs in the regional basket.
Ok, I see what you mean. Our management says they are making good progress of extending our current fleet of 145s through 2019. But I won't believe it until it's in an SEC filing.
