All signs seem to indicate more news is on the horizon fleet wise. But to your point, CPAs are in decline and mainline will recapture some domestic lift. Spending billions on a new fleet only to allow less than 100 additional 76 seaters to attempt minuscule improvements to yield doesn't pass the sniff test. In other words, complying with scope choke provisions won't guarantee ROI. With all the attention on CAPEX, I don't think SNB idea would get passed the board. |

When are the 50 seaters going away?
Sadly, that isn't happening anywhere near the timeline many thought it would. Management simply moves the aircraft around from more expensive contractors to to cheaper ones, as well as the "carrot dangle" of a quick upgrade, CPP, etc......... |
Investor Updates show UAL had 322 ERJ135/145/CRJ200s at the end of 2014. 254 at the end of this year. That's 68 hulls. GONE. Beautiful. Also, 490 total RJs end of 2016 v 566 end of 2014. That's a decrease of 76 RJs net of the 76 seater increase.
It's like McDonalds....I'm loving it. Sled |

And I think you're not being fair to sixth grade girls with ADHD; they write better, I'm fairly sure |
Know your audience, right?

Silly thing to say. Under Obama, fracking already made the USA virtually energy independent. Supply and demand already caused oil to plummet. Record profits and contracts are the result. Enjoy.

Who knew Eleanor Clift was a UAL pilot. Things are good. Now imagine how good it would be if we had a pro capitalism president with a robust economy to go along with it? But I'm not drill sergeant. I'm just a whinny millennial :D

There's a rumor Mesa might take their 700's out of IAD and place them with another partner. Just rumor, though.

As to the bankruptcy and lost pensions, I'd say Tilton and Judge Wedoff had probably more to do with that than W. But believe me when I say I'm thrilled slinging gear. And keep those new hires coming. |
All you need to know about Bankruptcy is the 95th United States congress.
Passed House:405-4 Senate: 51-20 Point the finger all you want but someone opened the door and it was not Bush. They also brought us the fine gift of the 401k (you know that other option to the pension.) |
