So is that the 26 people are talking about or are there more RJ's for united?

subpilot · November 7th, 2009, 01:41

That ship is sinking faster than the Titanic right now. Sorry for all the pilots who are soon to be on the street or downgraded.

The TSA recalls begin coming back in December and the Mesa flying isn't gone until the end of April, right? I'm not so sure this is to replace the Mesa guys but who knows.

Nothing is certain yet. There's nothing out there that makes this an official deal as far as our recalls. Some are saying we should be hearing word from the company next week. And plus if they're recalling all of us it would mean 10 to 15 extra ERJs which TSA doesn't have. Where will they be getting these ERJs.. We'll see what happens.

That's the 26 we're all talking about.

They just were slow putting out a PR about it.

joliet · November 7th, 2009, 10:31

13 planes for TSA = 130 pilots recalled @ TSA

13 planes for ASA

=

26 planes

surreal1221 · November 7th, 2009, 10:43

Was Mesa flying 13 planes for United, CRJ-200's out of IAD and ORD though?

All of us here at ASA have been told that this is seperate flying from the RFP that United has out - for the 26 CRJ-200's Mesa will no longer operate. And that is coming from the likes of our President, and Director of Operations. The flying starts in February, prior to Mesa's expiration. . .so. . .

Plus, isn't GoJet's the United regional lift under the Holding company?

TSA flies ERJs for UA, GJ flies the -700s.

I see.

Although since flying with American has shifted around, doesn't that now open the door for -700s at TSA?

OldTownPilot · November 7th, 2009, 13:13

Yep, I guess that would allow 70 seaters on the TSA certificate.

Copperhed51 · November 7th, 2009, 13:49

Yeah, which is why the MRJ announcement is interesting. TSA or GJ could get them...or nobody.

Do you believe that they would actually have Gojet fly CRJ7s AND MRJs? Why not just more 700s? I strongly believe that by 2014 when the MRjs arrive we'll be under one company, otherwise Hulas would own two competing 70+ seat certificates. They could have just said all MRJs would go to Gojet.

We at skywest are entitled to some of the flying, after all we're the ones keeping the uss ual from sinking.

OldTownPilot · November 7th, 2009, 20:16

HA! Entitled to flying?

You are either a troll, or incredibly naive about the regional industry.

Wow!

The only ones entitled to that flying are the UA pilots, especially the ones out on the street!
