Skywest's big order is discouraging, because most likely ALPA has promised management who has promised Skywest who has promised Embraer that they will find a way those can be flown for us. Above and beyond the myriad other 76ers that already are.
"We'll just promise them the time value of beginning the hiring process, or something like that. Don't worry, they are an easily swayed group. What, last time? Oh, they've already forgotten about that."
Maybe, but I think Eagle has a lot more to be worried about by this than we do. The only firm(ish) orders are for I think 40 E175's, the rest are options, and they are openly admitting the options are for future ACMI contracts. DL I think still has some room in the existing numbers to allow some growth in that sector, but their big score will be inking an expanded UAL contract and especially going big into the final feeder frontier before they go IndyAir and implode down the road...large RJ's for AA.
