Please read, it is a must. Now Delta asks non pilot employees to take leaves of absences to train to become pilots. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnb...may-apply.html |
I do not have a dog in this fight (I obviously want all mainline carriers to absorb regional flying), but the E175 can easily be configured with 9F+72Y (while retaining Economy+), which is fortunately too big from a scope perspective. However, +5 seats (or +11) worth of incremental revenue would certainly pay (and then some) for the added cost of being operated by mainline flight crews, attendants, ramp, CSAs, and MX employees.
An Example: (11*Average Ticket Value*Marginal Revenue)*(6 Flights Per Day)*365*(Average aircraft annually available for service) = HUGE Number Very conservative inputs results in >$40M in annual incremental revenue on 25 additional aircraft. |

They'd sell it in a heart beat for $100 an hour across the board..... So please stop predicting the future. |
Republic just bought 100 RJs with the option to convert them to E2’s.
Someone is betting on scope relief and I’ve yet to meet any UAL pilot willing to budge one nanometer on scope. https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/stor...1-d55f667b38eb |

Hmm. MESA with an IPO. Guess who owns approx 30% of MESA? Well it's not UAL.

Then there's the fact that the largest regional is non-union, and one of the lowest paid. They do fly a huge chunk of United Express flying (possibly more than any other regional carrier does). Also, they are probably the UAX carrier with the least amount of staffing issues. All of that doesn't exactly help the rest of us compete to get better contracts.
Which regional is non-union? |
