If you're saying there were no concessions, they you obviously don't know what the word concessions means. Even a dollar taken out of uniform reimbursement or health insurance is a concessions.

And if you remember, Republic originally had an order for 24 additional 175s to be operated for United going into bankruptcy. While in bankruptcy, United assumed control of the order and subsequently split the order. We were to get 12 and Mesa was to get 12. We received ours, but I’m not sure how many Mesa ended up taking. Since United owns these birds, I can easily see the 12-15 aircraft mentioned in the company letter being these exact aircraft.

It will get interesting when the CPA isn’t renewed with Mesa for their first Ejets. That is when panic will set in there. It took Mesa 4 years to get all their Ejets and it will probably take United 4 years to take them all away.
I also noticed that SkyWest’s Ejets have been coming to IAH more recently. It could be a double whammy soon.

A quick history lesson....
Since December 2013, the line flying pilots of ExpressJet have not taken a cent in concessions and a new contract should be out for a vote shortly. Skywest, being non union, have piggy backed off of ExpressJet's gains. Kind of like the naggy little sister that wants everything her big sister has.
Now I understand why Mesa is off the table, but why ExpressJet? And if you answer "Because they're closing down" I will know you have never taken a college business course before because nothing could be farther from the truth.

XJT is still under a 2004 contract and that contract now includes concessions that were voted in 2008. The contract was extended a couple of year ago with a 1.50 raise that did not match the concessions and the inflation from 2004. That is still a concessionary contract.
XJT is operating under a 2004 contract to this day. Ouch.
The last set of negotiations after the merger took how many years before the $1.50 raise was approved?
At least you are not telling everyone that the upgrade time will drop to a year in the very near future like others were spewing a couple of years ago.

To hold it? Who knows. Really just depends on how quickly they grow it.

I guess they have enough candidates that they aren't responding to potential recruits these days. I and a couple others that I know submitted applications last week and none of us has even received an acknowledgement from the recruiting team. I know the other two guys have other offers and I have 3 as well, so I think we'd be competitive, if that's even a thing in the regional world these days.
