  • There are lots of smaller regional airlines in the United States who operate flights on behalf of larger airlines, but can you guess how large this operation is?

    This can backfire on the legacy carrier. The “United” incident where the passenger was roughed up was actually a Republic flight operated for United Express, but the media just reported it as a United flight.

      I'm actually glad someone mentioned this, cause United took all the hate for that incident when it wasn't even a United flight, realistically speaking and Republic honestly just got lucky because of how this system works. It's funny though because despite that incident, Republic is actually a pretty good airline and they were one of few to survive the pandemic while many others, some of which were even listed or shown in this video, are no longer with us.

      Very true. When an Air Asia flight crashed about 7 years ago I mentioned to people it was from the Indonesian franchise of Air Asia. My upcoming flight was on the Malaysian based brand. 3rd World (?) versus 2nd World (?) safety regulations and standards was the basis of my argument/debate but it got messy/insulting. So I flew as scheduled and had a wonderful week (🥤). 👍 from regional Australia

    • @a21npilot91
      @a21npilot91 Рік тому

      Somewhat it makes sense, the flight operates under United brand for United, so it means they hired a wrong partner. The flight was overbooked, which is a failure of both, but mostly United, as it is their system. Yes, it was not their crew, but still responsibility is on them.

    • @markodom3841
      @markodom3841 3 роки тому +1

      Yes; also interesting would be additional discussion of the 76 seat cap by regulation which governs the pilot rules under union contracts, etc. That rule is why CRJ-900s and ERJ-175s are 76 seat planes.
      If it wasn’t for these special rules and the 11 regional carriers that operate under them, much of the 61% of America discussed would be without air service.

Try and fly between ATL and MCO during the busiest time of the year. Second. Don't try and act like "mainline." Who really owns those planes?
