Latest rumor- in addition to the 2 announced 737-700s, there are 4 more coming from Copa. Also looking at 25+airbuses from Asia.

We have 75 and 76 aircraft that are now staying...also heard they are talking about retrofit like the 767-400. I think it was 1.1mil per plane so who knows, but it would certainly help sync the fleet.

Hopefully we continue to see increased mainline flying, we need to be in charge of our domestic product, not the regionals. more 319/320 and 737 aircraft are just the ticket. Cut 2 RJ flights per NB flight. Will alleviate congestion as well helping us during bad weather days and all the time in super contested airports.

Apparently it's a direct result of stiffing issues with the regional feed. The 50 seaters and Qs are phasing out with E175s and narrow bodies as replacement.

Also, pure rumor, management asked to amend CBA to raise first year pay.When ALPA countered with an across-the-board raise the company backed down.

That doesn't make sense. It's not like United's having a problem getting qualified applicants.

Yep. One of the dumbest rumors I've heard in a while.

Just passing it along for public consumption. Not claiming to be an oracle here. This was from a few pay grades above my level, but still could be bs.

If you have "stiffing issues" longer than 4 hours they say you should call a doctor...

We only have 10,000 applicants hiring about 700 a year. So we will run out of applicants in 13 years if no new ones apply.....

Oh wait....
