SkyWest to sell ExpressJet to United Airlines
 

Re think the threat title perhaps

Interesting. Anyone know how many of the 175s United owns? I know they own the entire Mesa fleet and some if not all of the 175s at RAH. Im not sure if they own any of the SkyWest 175s.

I ask because I can see all the United assets being transferred to ExpressJet now. We can start controlling our 70 seat regionals a little better and maybe get a better product.

I hope the end game is to absorb this LLC and bring the 70 seat flying in house. I can see United ordering another 20 of the 175s configured to 70 seats (SC) and give them to Xjet. This would park all CRJ 700s at Mesa and Go jet. The only ones left would be with SkyWest to fly to ASE.

Anyways I think this is a positive for United and we will see if it is a positive or a negative for United pilots......can't wait to see the New contract.

United a minority partner in ManaAir LLC. I believe UAL is in the end pulling all the strings.

They don’t own any of the SkyWest 175s

48 at Mesa and 20 at Republic I think.
All back as leases coming to end and watch for the bigger Ejets order coming .
Lufthansa style all one seniority when the TA comes

76 seaters to 364 seaters all flown by United seniority pilots
There you have your 15000 pilot seniority list

Good for everyone I would say

Lots of bold assumptions with this one ☝️

So if you're at XJT, do you still do the United interview when they call?

I would say yes. Get out of the regionals as fast as you can. Why wouldn’t you interview?
