Rumors and magic ball theory as I sit pondering my next career move
Rumor from a C5 guy I talked to at IAH. They will soon have a 170 on property and they are in the process of getting it on their certificate.
UA owns a large percentage of C5. UA killed expressjet. They will have an airline similar to AA wholly owned and they will mold that to fly the only regional jet people really seem to like (the 170) into smaller markets and then compete with the ULCCs with their efficient 320s and maxes in the other markets. Delta will compete in the regional markets with the 220 along with 170s and crj900s flown by their respective regionals (endeavor republic and OO)
GoJet closure seems imminent. I wonder what they will do with the 550s? Maybe SkyWest will be staffing those because the only other CRJ typed pilots will be AirWis, PSA, and Mesa. Skywest seems to know their crj200s for UA and DL have a a few years left- but SkyWest continues have to CRJ new hire classes coming in (with extremely delayed training footprint) The only plan for those 200s I can see other than leasing to rest of the world is the 135 operation or selling engines and parts to AirWis so they can keep theirs running
Mesa is the wildcard for now.... I wonder if they will get a new TA where they actually pay their pilots or just close shop moving the UA owned 170s to C5 and the American crj700s to SkyWest or AirWis next year. Maybe PSA will pick them up as part of AAs plan to have 600 regional jets. It seems like both UA and AA want the E145 to be gone. (more for jsx to buy for their model) model
I guess we just sit back with the popcorn and wait for something to happen

Finally going to ground school, any advice?
Title says it all. Done Indoc already, and finally going back to ground school. Feeling a little nervous, any words of advice? What to study most leading up to it? What to expect? What you wish someone told you.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciate, thank you!
