Are you saying that it would be a wise business move to award 30 more aircraft to a regional feed that is about to operate 100 of that type already for UAL? You guys do have a lot of 700/900s plus EJET orders. But how many 200's do you guys have to shed?
Forgive the grammatical errors as I'm typing from my Ipad.
The shedding of 50's will occur yes, but the 175s and MRJs also replace those airframes. I promise the 50s will no go away entirely as OO operates many of them and the Bro on "at Risk" contracts and makes $$$ doing it... Now you want to talk on time performance? Here's last quarters ontime performance ranked by the DOT
1. Hawaiian
2. Frontier
3. Alaska
4. SkyWest
Ect...
Now the shear capacity we operate in ie United, Delta, Airways, Alaska and Eagle is pretty impressive. I think Mesa was #16.
