SAO PAULO (AP) -- Brazilian plane maker Embraer says it's signed a firm order with United Airlines for 30 regional jets.
With the option for United to buy an additional 40 jets, Embraer says the deal could eventually be worth nearly $4 billion. The first planes are to be delivered in the first quarter of 2014.
The E175 jets will be flown by the airliner's United Express regional service and will have a 76-seat layout.

Mesa because those aircraft will be less than 50 seats with premium seating and they can operate it them cheaper than anyone

look at 50 seat rates for mesa

Mesa didnt care about 50 seat rates in their last contract because they are a dying breed. Why waste negotiating capital on an aircraft that nobody wants anymore..

If Skywest or ExpressJet get them we will have to know pretty soon. On the last earnings call they addressed the E-Jet issue and stated that optimistically it will take 6 months (and more likely 6-12 months) to be ready for first delivery.

This doesn't even enter into the calculation. Frontier is an annoyance, not a serious contender. Recall that as part of their restructuring they have 1/3 less flights than just a year ago. Additionally, they most likely will be spun off shortly. There are two investment firms/capital groups in talks with them.

Had a jumpseater who is friends with a manager, he said smallsak is livid that Republic submitted a fuel bill for more than 200K gallons of fuel with no A/C reference in DEN alone.

I could be wrong but my bet is that Comair is getting the A/C. I heard it from a guy who's brothers friend cleans the corporate bathrooms at United.

Well, I heard that it was toss-up between Braniff #4 and Pan-Am #4.

Now I know that's a load of crap. Smisek doesn't even know who Republic is, let alone what they fly.

How are they burning that much fuel when they do 230 knots everywhere?

Shows how truly stupid you are, if you don't think smallsak, uncle jerry, brad h, and the reverend don't play golf on a regular basis trying to figure out how to keep pilots divided and at each others throats you are high. The reverend's minions screwed up when they decided to slip the fuel slips into the UAL pile. And if you don't think that they would notice 200K gals of jet a, you are even higher, this business is statistically driven, so when they couldn't reconcile that additional fuel to a series of airframes they panicked. By keeping you and every other pilot at a regional, they keep a significant amount of pay for executive bonuses.

And it shows just how stupid you are. I finally got out from underneath those morons in ATL whose puppet strings were being pulled by St. George and away from all the commando sweater wearing kool-aid drinkers who were so afraid of having their bases messed with that they refused to stand up for themselves. I got out of the regional rat race.

Seriously, Jeff is so far out of touch in the day-to-day operations of the airline it isn't funny. His minions do his dirty work. He counts the days until he can collect his millions.

Your comments are personal and inappropriate. They also show that you TRULY don't understand how a large organization like United works (and the involvement of the CEO in the day to day operations).
