$10/gallon is a stretch, but actions such as shutting down the Keystone pipeline or other environmental mandates could increase the price of fuel. If fuel does go up, smaller aircraft (especially really old 50 seaters) will become even less viable. Higher fuel prices up to a point could drive flying back to us since the fuel burn per seat is much less on larger equipment, past a certain point will result in high ticket prices and force many customers out of the market.

I don’t want to start a red vs blue debate, but could bills passed by the current regime lead to increased hiring at United and the reduction of the regionals? Potential environmental regulations, the push to be “green”, and tax credits/penalties could increase operating cost and make the smaller planes even less efficient. We still have a bunch of aircraft on order and we didn’t retire any of our fleet. Will we use that lift to take back flying and increase the need to hire, or will we just go back to the same UAL/UAX fleet mix that we had and hire again when attrition becomes an issue?

Aviate Program Update
On Monday January 25, United broadcast a Microsoft Teams presentation on the "State of Aviate". Aviate is the program United has developed to find the best candidates and increase opportunities for our pilot hiring pipeline. Under Aviate, United has partnered with several airlines, Part 135 operators, universities, and FAR part 141 flight schools.
United MEC Chairman Captain Todd Insler was a featured speaker during the presentation. He focused on ALPA's extensive involvement in the program and was joined by United Airlines President Brett Hart and Aviate team leader Captain Curt Brunjes. Mr. Hart stressed the importance of attracting the best talent and reiterated that United gains strength through diversity, equity, and inclusion. Captains Insler and Brunjes then conducted a question-and-answer session to close out the presentation.
United plans to be in a competitive position emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering the pilots who have left the seniority list in the P-VSL program, as well as traditional retirements, United hopes to begin hiring pilots in late 2021. If 2019 levels of flying return, so must a commensurate compliment of flight crews. To match 2019 levels, approximately 1000 pilots will have to be hired and trained in the next year or year and a half.
While the traditional sources of pilots remain to fill vacancies, the Aviate program will begin to interview new potential candidates on February 22, 2021.

You have some countries talking about shutting down the entire air system. Others are tightening travel rules and hoops to jump through. People will drive way before jumping on an airplane if they can help it. Many road trips are in the future for the mass public.

This is all predicated on “If 2019 travel numbers return”. The odds of that happening quickly are slim and none. Lets be realistic about things.
