125 new EMBs 100 plus seaters for mainline and 80 additional 76 seaters for Mana/Expressjet and possible air Wisconsin, along with
34 used 319s and 19 B737-700s ( those are coming every month as we speak)
Will do the job in about 2.5 years span.

Feel free to apply

You just solidified what I said. They want the flight COMPLETED. And they specially want UNITED flights completed. So they do care about this stuff. That is why pilots that fly exclusively for United should go above a pilot that might be flying for a different carrier (American delta Alaska). Just as it is at Delta and American.

The recall talk has begun. If this whole ridiculousness isn't resolved quickly, I think you'll see a recall petition very soon.

Sounds reasonable. Problem is, as always, mgmt. will insert another sycophant to do their "representation" game.

Someone will capitulate. I’m sure United management wants a healthy relationship with all regionals, but at what price? Is it cheaper to keep SkyWest as a partner and galvanize +13,000 united pilots against them? Go back to the hostile days of old?
Fiscally speaking, UAL management has more invested(literally) in other regional partners. They don’t own any part of Skywest afaik.

I wonder how under performing they would be with an infusion of resources (bonuses,e175, New domiciles) from mother UAL?

Guess what ? You expanded from a few Brazilians that you got from West air ( Mesa owned) 1998 to what you are today
But I guess you were at junior high during that time.

Don’t assume it can’t happen again and you get replaced
Just like you replaced others in the past
No more koolaid , it is affecting your thinking

No contract is iron clad. I’m sure each side has/can explore ways to terminate the cpa. Skywest is healthy. But can they survive the long war if both sides decide to go to the mattresses? Today I’d wager UAL would win a war of attrition ($$$). Tomorrow who knows. One thing’s for sure, if things escalate to that level, a bunch of lawyers will be getting rich.
