Airline Pilot Central Forums

That's a LOT of upgrades for both airframes. CRJ is around 2 years right now and ERJ is about 4. With the amount of people the Legacys needs, it should hang out around there for a few years....hopefully.....

Thank you for the good info.

If you need Chicago I'd go with Skywest, it's our biggest base and not going anywhere where envoy is questionable.

Is IAH still closing?

It's gotten smaller and consequently more senior. Unofficially I believe it's closing with flying shifting to ORD so if you want IAH as a base I would consider somewhere else, not that mesa is the best choice.

IAH for some reason is hanging in there. They are doing what they can to keep it open and grow it again. ORD is for sure growing. Adding a new crewlounge, ect.. ORD is a good bet for a newhire that lives in that area.. most jr upgrade also. 2~ and falling..

I agree they will try keep it open it's a big draw for pilots that live in the south, we don't have another base near there.

I gree that they try to keep it open - mostly for option value if/when Mesa fails to deliver.

But not much of a draw if you cannot get in there....

I think we *might* see IAH as a 175 base eventually.

Don't quote me on that please.

I wouldn't count on it. There are no more UA175 to go around - they are scoped out. And I don't think we want to spread our operations into another base with the current fleet.

I'd wager Republic has a slightly better future chance at a KIAH domicile than SkyW.
Wild Card could be if Republic builds mx there or if United now sees value in our mx and domicile operation enough to change their plans with this Mexican stand-off of a closure.
