XJT to fly 60 airplanes for UAL

[ToiletDuck]

This would be front page for XJT if true. The investors would be all over this.

 

[Erlanger]

Guys, do you really think UAL would give flying to XJT under the circumstances that XJT is under now. No way, it's a big risk. If UAL and XJT were in talks, I think UAL would wait to see what happens with the possible Skywest buyout and if that didn't happen, the solvency of XJT.

Every airline is in talks with UAL... there is an RFP out for 60 aircraft. That said, the general speculation is that it was for replacing Mesa flying, and with the delta decision out there, good luck with that one.

I hear a lot about this RFP, but haven't read anything official. Until then it's just another rumor like this entire thread.

when we're all old and retired we'll get to sit down with our grandchildren and tell them about the early days of aviation, when mainline flew domestically.

Speaking of United. Talked to a couple buddies here at S5 and both said their are rumors floating around that United is dropping some of our 170 planes.

SkyWest runs more United Express flights than the rest of the United Express carriers combined. And, SkyWest is running 'almost' as many flights as mainline United. I guess I can't fault United for wanting to diversify its portfolio of carriers, but you would be smoking something real good to think SkyWest wouldn't get at least a piece of that pie.

Not drinking the koolaid at RAh here but I have a really hard time believing that. Unless they just have no other option since they lost half a billion in the first quarter I doubt it. They've been drooling over those planes and have been wanting more. I'll still admit anything is possible but I'd be shocked.

ANY regional airline growth [in today's market] is going to come at a direct expense of another regional.

Meaning, if an airline gains 60 aircraft of flying from UAL, somebody else is going to lose 60 aircraft's worth of flying.

thats odd since we are scheduled to add 10 planes on the united side of the S5 operation. these planes are coming from delta as their 175s(76seat) are delivered.

What a friggin lame post. I spent 8 great years at XJT and met some of the best people I know. While there are plenty of tools you make the whole pilot group look bad with this crap. I'm not so sure you work for XJT at any rate. If you do, I'm sure your number begins with a T. You have no appreciation for the company or its history to come on here and make your peers look bad.
