Maybe I just don't get it, but why couldn't BB just say "sorry Delta, due to our long term 'one fleet strategy' and our difficulty attracting new pilots we are unable to extend the 145'contract." What am I missing?

Basically what delta does, usually the other 2 are going to follow suit. Having said that, I think those 175s are going to go to someone else. When RAH is canceling more than 80 flights a day when those come online.

Shuttle has the worst of the cancellations. Republic hovers around 1-3%. I'm not sure how much of that is crew cancellation. My guess is they moved the United 175s to republic to survive the summer.

Seriously...........How in god's name do they expect to staff it? Yesterday Shuttle America had the highest number of canceled flights of any airline IN THE WORLD (according to FlightAware).
Also heard a rumor that Delta has been hanging out in crew scheduling to see what's been going on firsthand for themselves.

Who cares if we get a new contract! It will not help to stop attrition, because many are leaving to much better places. I just flew with a 2014 hire last week, and he is actively looking to get out of this place. This place sucks because of the culture, and the contract is a product of that culture. We will have a new contract soon, but I doubt it will be industry leading, and I don't expect much of a signing bonus.

yah skywest is going to take over rah's delta flying dokay!! from where, SLC? DEN? Haha, who cares how many 170's they have on order. Can order as many rj's as you want you still need pilots to fly them. simple fact of the matter is delta couldn't yank rah's flying and just hand it to some other regional and see the reliability and efficiency improve. the only hope any regional has today of attracting enough pilots to fly their crappy flying is quick upgrades and that ship has sailed for most.

Republic's upgrade time is dropping rapidly with the 145's staying onboard. That coupled with what I believe will be an industry leading contract could very well change the game. Everything is cyclical in this industry, and that cycle is about to hit republic. The word is that there are new cpa's coming republics way, but they must settle their labor issue before they can be awarded. It wouldn't surprise me at all if more flying was awarded soon after the contract is settled.
