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.

QRP.

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

I don’t think it’s anything to read too much in to. Which is weird to say, because I’m usually the pessimist on this forum.

so I just listened to the QRP...

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?

When are contracts up for UA, AA, and DL?

100% not Republic. The only 175s I've seen painted in the new livery were the brand spankin new 175s that Expressjet got (soon to go to SkyWest).

The UA 170s are coming up soon. Forget the exact date, but it’s within the next 12 months.

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.
