We have 34 UA 170’s and 26 175’s. Of the 175’s, 12 were delivered in 2017. The other 14 were delivered between 2015-2016 with deliveries being stopped after our BK announcement.

Okay, so “only” 70% percent of our United fleet is in need of new paint.

They literally said “our contract does not include the requirement for us to repaint aircraft, so if United wants them painted then United will tell us and they can pay for it.”
How do you get the sky is falling on the United side from that?

In the last 2 months I’ve flown to 3 cities that weren’t even on our published route map for United. If we are on the way out it seems strange that they continually give us additional flying. I’m guessing with the ExpressJet announcement it’s going to get even harder for them to recruit, so I see more flying for UA in our future as less desirable regionals struggle with recruitment.
