Not sure what his crystal ball says, but mine says UAX will be at 250-300 hulls in the next 5 years. Mostly of the 70/76 seat variety. Next up for UAL, since our TA passed this morning, will be securing a 100 seat jet with an announcement sometime in '16. For you regional ALPA pilot groups flying UAX, I would expect to see deals worked out a'la Commutair in the near future. We currently have 12,500 pilots and the company wants to be at 16,000 by 2020.

I'm guessing United wants to keep some around on a short leash so a.) They want to see how staffing shakes down and b.) they may be playing plane-and-pilot keep away from their competition.

They'll just reduce flying, it will be like Great Lakes.

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.

No. What about the 50 seaters that united is cutting. That's certainly not going to help whatever regional in terms of upgrade.
Not every one has a flow either.

Exjet guys aren't having any problems moving on are they?
Sorry man, Tsa isn't as competitive anymore in attracting guys.
