There will be 50 seaters for the foreseeable future. Just not as many.

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.

That's false. Deliveries are as scheduled until August. Our completion factor has been right around goal and our hiring has been steady and increased. They wouldn't cancel deliveries. Your sources are incorrect.

They said they are parking 100 E145s through 2019, with TSA having about 50, Commutair getting 40, and the SkyWest United CRJ200s that is all the 50 seat RJs United will have after 2019.

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.
Heard Blowjet could lose 15 700s for United...

I think anyone of SKW/gojet/mesa who can't staff them or has any other operational issues/breach of contract could lose some or all of their 700 UAX flying.

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.

Have heard this from several folks as well. As you said, not made public yet so I guess we shall see.
