Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

With Regional payrates so elevated, less diversity on fleets, etc, this MAX grounding is another example to me where every aircraft flown should be mainline with crosstraining. No reason an experienced cross-type trained pilot could not be moved over to some of these sitting E-175 birds and E-145’s...

Also, is it a total of 5 jumpseats on the airplane? For 200 seats, that is the minimum crew complement, so no extra j/s for commuting crew? Or is there another jumpseat hidden in the cabin?

Does UA just buy the E175s and operate them at mainline, or it just buys Mesa? Buying Mesa seems like buying a basket of stuff that might not be necessary. The whole 'Buy E-jets and operate them at mainline' is a grossly uneconomic fantasy that just needs to die, especially at the coming pilot wage...
