who says they are fleeing IAH? All they do is transition their fleet to 175 and concentrate on one operator. May not be efficient in the long run but I don't think this signals any major UA service for IAH. It will just be provided by someone else - unfortunately.
United Airlines to pull resources from Houston hub - Houston Business Journal Low oil prices are helping United Airlines boost its earnings but are pulling it away from Houston, where it has one of its largest hubs. Chicago-based United Continental Holdings Inc. (NYSE: UAL) said on an earnings call Jan. 21 that it would be reducing its resources at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, according to a transcription from Seeking Alpa. The airline plans to shift Houston's resources to better-performing markets like San Francisco and Denver, though it did not provide further details. The Houston Chronicle reports that the changes could result in relocating and downsizing planes, as well as changing routes. United said that low oil prices have reduced demand not only from corporate energy partners, but also have now begun to impact revenue from broader markets. The company said it had previously expected to grow in Houston by 2 percent this year, but now growth is expected to be flat. Overall, though, United saw increased earnings both in its fourth quarter and full year numbers. Its net income for 2015 was $7.3 billion, including special items, up from $1.1 billion the previous year. However, total revenue for the year was $37.9 billion, down from $38.9 billion. United is currently underway on a $244 million concourse at IAH. The project broke ground in May and is slated to open next year. United said it will maintain a strong commitment to Houston, but it will make slight adjustments. The company's newly appointed CEO Oscar Munoz was present on the conference call. He suffered a heart attack last year but has been on the mend. I don't think IAH is done for, even for SkyWest. BUT, UAL plans to only have 100 50 seaters in the express portfolio in three years, and they're letting 700's go (to other carriers, natch). Things could look very different in the near future. Lots more E175's coming, too, just a question of who, when & where. It's dangerous to choose an airline, ANY airline, based on domicile. Just ask the guys who came to SkyWest for San Diego :eek: |

Well Envoys new campaign to promote how they are hiring into the 175 shows that is one factor to consider for new hires and where they go. Even though seniority progression would be way faster on the CRJ, you have people that just want to fly the new plane. That is why the company is still hiring into the 175 and leaving the CRJ thin. Well that and the fact that we don't have anything that would stop them from blocking transitions other than a pat on the back and a promise that "We'll take care of you eventually" from management.
I've bumped up about 20 or so numbers since the first of the month and we have a bunch still out there with class dates. I'm not sure why they insist on taking those that are on the fence about leaving and giving them a big shove in the back. Those that are going to leave will still leave, but they are giving all the incentive needed to those that haven't updated their log books to get out and apply. Sorry! The game is rigged, SAPA, F&H, means you are outgunned, squirtgun vs SAW, you will continue to lose, every time. |

In this industry, follow the money, the truth is right behind it. The reason that new hires are going into the ERJ is simple, the CRJ is going the way of the EMB, and it's about training events. Train a new hire in the CRJ, and a year after he finishes, he will be transitioning into the ERJ. Keeping the CRJ guys right where they are, is cost containment. Remember you are a widget, and as far as the company is concerned, widgets don't have lives outside SKYW.

So is it safe to say that if one ends up in the E-jet, their first year will be spent in Chicago?

*In general, to everybody*
There are a lot of captain CRJ->EMB transitions coming off freeze-date next month. Is this the catylist that pushes the EMB fleet senior? Or do you believe deliveries will keep things equal-ish between the fleet? |
