Why are people so eager to buy into it and were the crap did it come from?
Think this was thought up because of the negotiations with the company to attract new hires. Word on the street is that AWAC is not going to fair well in the long run and pilots try to put two and two together. They made one too many jumps to a conclusion that doesn't make any sense.

C5 is not having trouble because of the quick upgrades. Once it gets to the point where you don't have the quick upgrade, hiring will slow just like it did at TSA. Like I said, we were supposed to take 120 total airplanes from UA and AA including some of the XRs you are getting, but were unable due to our inability to staff. Good luck getting to 60, you'll need it.

We were also told by the boss that UA will not outright buy a regional. It appears that was done once before under the CO name and it did not turn out very well. They seem to want something that they can wash their hands of if they need to.
C5 may be private, but UAL is not, and any significant investment in another entity would have to be disclosed to the stockholders. And C5 wouldn't be the first regional to have mainline management on its board of directors. Its happened many times before.

That's why 40ish% is not significant and why they chose that amount.

CA had a $225 million valuation in 2006. I don't think a public company can just throw $100M away without telling their shareholders.

The SEC would disagree with you...Northwest did the same years ago with Mesaba and it was only a 20% stake and it was reported to stockholders. Since Sarbanes Oxley and Enron you can't fart in a publicly traded company without filing a report with the stockholders.

Just a heads up. Apparently a large number of people called out sick today and now crew scheduling is writing people up for it.
