IF (big if) this rumor about the 900s is true, it's probably because SkyWest named their price and AA shot it down. Which means they either go back to the table, or SkyWest places the airplanes with someone who WILL pay the asking price.
Go ahead and name a few.
Skywest places the airplanes with someone who will pay the asking price? You do understand that it will likely be AA who leases the airplanes and subleases them to SKW! AA lives this game it does it at Eagle and I would think it will keep the accounting games moving forward. Also no more Delta 900s since they are going to pinnacle so that only leaves United as the other option and if AA announces larger RJs going elsewhere United will be able to get their way with SKW or there will be no future for SKW likely after the contracts expire. SKW is not immune to the gene. Great company, smart management but they are still subcontractors in a regional whipsaw scheme
