Some of you believe United can bring the RJ flying in-house. How is that possible? Is your training department capable of handling the influx of new pilots and another fleet of aircraft? No, that's why United has to buy XJT and maybe another regional. It solves many issues.

There is more that you don’t know than what you do......every post you just keep digging yourself deeper into your stupid world.

Please apply soon, and keep paying people to take your flights while you are stuck at that regional. Stay away from United's passengers.

I have no problem flying for Spirit and undercutting United. Maybe Spirit will take over more United routes? United CANNOT compete against Spirit; even in their own hubs!

Either way, Kirby will get scope relief or you guys will not get a new contract. How does United keep their regional pilots from leaving to other airlines over the next few years? Come on GENIUS...tell me? Do you even know how big the pilot shortage is at the United regionals? It's the worst in the industry! Delta and American are staffing their regionals with little or no problem. SWA is hiring up to 1000 pilots this year and they are hiring mostly regional guys. All the LCCs will hire the United regional pilots over the next couple years and that's your new competition. Play smart or lose!

Once again more of your moronic rant....

Spirit can’t even break $100M profit in a quarter with the lowest paid pilots in the industry. How does that threaten United? When I see a Spirit 787 flying from Los Angeles to Paris I’ll start to worry.

NAI will be flying the 787 international routes, not United. You may want to start worrying. Even Spirit can't compete with NAI.

No new contract! Then somehow I will have to get by on only $231 an hour as a 787 FO. Of course I’m sleeping for some of that time so it goes by fast.

United might be able to sell the B787s to NAI:). There's zero chance you will compete against the ultra low cost airlines. It will be fun to watch how this plays out!

"Despite O’Leary’s prediction that Norwegian has bitten off more than it can chew—at a time when airlines such as WOW Air, Air Canada, and IAG’s new Level carriers are adding capacity across the Atlantic—Kjos said Norwegian’s growth has been carefully planned. He doesn’t see a competitive environment between the U.S. and Europe that’s “much different” from times past, nor does he think fares for the big legacy carriers like American Airlines Group Inc. and United Continental Holdings Inc. have declined much, despite all the new flights across the pond. “We absolutely have no problem in placing the capacity on the Atlantic,” he said. “If we didn’t think it was going to be profitable, we would not have these flights.”
