5. Will ExpressJet people become United employees?
No, they will remain employed by ExpressJet and owned by a third party United joint venture.
6. How long will SkyWest, Inc. continue to support certain functions in IT, Accounting and Benefits?
A transition period is customary and may be between 6-18 months.

This is why XJT (or any other regional) will probably not be absorbed into UA (or any other major).
The hate and discontent would be epic, would make the Airways/Cactus SLI look like a lovefest.
I said "probably" because if the pilot shortage got bad enough somebody might go there.

Why do you love that? You have some kind of animosity towards them? Technically, United did buy xjt, a minority part. And if United is pulling the strings, I think anyone is better than your CC at this point.

That’s true on the IT gouge, until the transaction is complete. Xjt will be United employees as much as they were Skywest employees. Which is to say, xjt employees are xjt employees while being partly owned by United instead of wholly owned by Skywest. That’s a good thing for xjt employees.

You couldn’t have a fence that lasts any longer than when the next new hire is hired. Otherwise that new hire would be able to progress past the career expectations of the RJ lifer and all pilots behind him.
This is all academic, but just because you have two airlines with disparate career expectations does not mean that ALPA merger policy wouldn’t apply. It just means that arbitrators would have to take all those things into consideration when constructing and SLI. And that could mean a straight staple and done.

Scope clause
Union prohibits majority ownership and most important why would any airline want all of suddenly double their labor cost overnight for 0 benefit in return.
