Is that when United buys Xjet and starts shifting E175 flying to them and giving them a flow?

I don’t even have an inkling of what will happen before the SWA acquisition of us.

Lol. Is that before or after United buys Xjet?

You are listening to the wrong word or you are on the wrong street. UA just purchased XJT and is purchasing another regional (that might have a merger thread of its own) that is still in the works.

I doubt that AA will allow a UA owned operator to run flights for them when its all done.

That's not the word on the street. That's already announced months ago.

The question is how long it sticks around for them.

Weird this rumor was flying around rapidly on the last TA, it passes and nobody speaks of it again. Pay talks start, rumor is back. Shall we dare say the company is buying CRJ-900'S again?
