If the company really does get rid of the 50 seaters soon, I feel for the poor captain that has to sit next to him when he applies for his next job.

His comment today regarding parking 50 seaters was in response to a question if UA has any plans to park any fleets in the near future. His response was he’s hoping for a quick recovery and not having to park any airplanes at all. He said if the recovery is too slow, he’d be looking at parking the 75, 76 and airbus fleet. He then made the comment about parking 50 seaters if the recovery was too slow.

That’s the version I watched yesterday, I’m not sure what you were watching.

Many lifers at the regionals enjoy the QOL and job stability. Mainline is/was a goal for most regional pilots, and I feel sorry for those pilots that deserve career advancement. It's imperative to remain positive and look for opportunities outside of aviation. If XJET fails (always a possibility), the majority of flying will be concentrated to one or two regionals. That model will increase cost pressure down the road for mainline. I believe United will maintain their investment in XJET.

United and the rest of the majors could furlough come fall too. Don’t stoop to his level.
