Will United Express be strictly E170/175s in the future?
200s and 700s will still be around. The 700s are the only planes that can currently do some of the mountain airports such as Aspen. The 200s will definitely be around for awhile. United just granted Air wisconsin a contract for 50 200s and 15 options (this will replace mostly E145s).

The other two operators flying 700s for United are GoJet and Mesa. Once the remaining 700s are removed from United flying at SkyWest and the last of the E175s arrive for Republic, SkyWest, and Mesa, United will be scoped out on large RJs.

Of course, by the time you finish your training and get enough time to come to the 121 world, it will look completely different.

Ah I understand. All of the CRJ-700s and E175s are wifi equipped with the device streaming and new seating. All that money put into them I doubt they are going anywhere. SkyWest should be the primary operator of the CR7s in my opinion.

If you can figure out what UA express plans are you should go tell United... they don't know either...

Who's got some good rumors on the new Alaska E175 routes announced today out of San Diego? Horizon or SKW?

It seems pretty simple to understand their UA plans. Their status as of March 14, 2017. They are not adding a single aircraft other than the E175.

SW added 5 E175s this year with plans for 6 more. Mesa plans to add 12 more E175s this year. Republic plans to add 12 more E175s this year. Unless Mesa or Republic cannot deliver, or another airline looks for SW to supply E175s, our growth in the E175 this year will be front-loaded.

CRJ200s, CRJ700s, and ERJ145s are exiting.

Yes you will be paid for the time in between too. Like someone said you don't get the check until ground school. I had 2 weeks from CTP to ground. Paycheck was a little over $2100

I agree!

I hope Mesa ups their pay and treats pilots better. Going to be a lot of competition between SkyWest and Republic and Mesa for the United bid.

Mesa's management would need a frontal lobotomy to start treating their pilots better.

Two of the nicest people I know are former Mesa FOs. They would never recommend them to anyone.
