We were supposed to hit a new aircraft every 3 days for about 24 months. By the end of this year, we'll be short about 20 airframes for the year on what was planned. The hiring plan has been scaled...

”Old mate” as you put it works at the training center in Denver and was out having a few beers last week with 5 of the hiring captains, so that’s where my info came from.

Not sure where you got your info but the main problem affecting hiring, is the lack of aircraft deliveries. Boeing is massively behind. UAL has suspended hiring at the moment and it’s doubtful FedEx...

Bafan, no E3’s where I’m at but it’s a brave new world. So who knows what’s in the tea leaves. My personal feeling is that ALPA and the natives would lose their collective minds if E3’s were on the...

This particular genius nugget piqued my interest. Seeing as Republic doesn't fly its own routes and simply does what its legacy masters, tell it to do. So you can't really compete with Republic.

LOL, not a chance. Decades ago there was a London pilot base but that was a left over of the PanAm route purchase. There’s no reason to open any overseas bases.

Highly, highly unlikely. UAL ALPA are VERY aware of the E3 and consider it a huge threat to US pilots. Whether rightly or wrongly and they’ll put the dues of a 16000 strong membership to use, to...
