Bye bye CRJ, hello ERJ.
Also, C5’s meteoric rise was short lived.
Bye bye C5/G7.

Where are you going to get ERJ’s? Scope is maxed out. When 700’s get converted to 550’s you can have ERJ’s on a 1 for 1 basis, but that’s it. Air Wisconsin and CommutAir may not come out of this, but SkyWest is also going to have a bunch of aircraft removed from the United system with no replacements.

Ok
I’m sure you’re right. SkyWest/republic/Mesa will all shrink away into nothingness in the next 6 months.

Where did I say that? The big three will be fine. SkyWest will most likely continue to fly the current number of 70/76 seat planes, but see the CRJ get retired. Considering how many CRJ’s you guys operate for United, their retirement will shrink number of pilots that are needed. I’d expect attrition to take care of the over staffing issues, but it could be a long ride at the bottom for the new hires.

To qualify as a 50 seat jet the seating configuration has to be 50 or less and a weight of 65,000 lbs or less. UALPA will not allow the weight to be changed. According to what I’ve read, the single class 50 seat jets are being phased out, but the 550’s are going to be around for a while.
