But assuming you are correct (no reason to think you aren't), I still think a big chunk of the parked 50 seaters will come from XJT. They currently have 251 of them flying as UAX and they automatically get parked as leases expire (assuming they don't extend them anymore).
As things stand today with the addition of the 40 SKW Ejets and the 30 that haven't been awarded United will be parking 200 50 seaters in the next two years to comply with the SCOPE max. SKW in operates the majority of the 50 seaters. I believe there is something like 35-40 at carriers not owned by SKW Inc, so there will be over 150 airplanes coming there. In essence, there will be 40 airplanes coming in for United and 150+ leaving. 3-1 ratio. Eagle will be faced with a similar situation as well as other carriers. This doesn't take into account whipsaw and how SKW will now have Ejets so RAH doesn't have the monopoly on these airplanes. We are all going to suffer while we are at the regionals.
Oh ok, you are talking about Skywest inc. I thought you were just talking about Skywest airlines.
