Talking about it, see USA today for article that's about 300/360 aircraft for expressjet and there's no plans that I've ever heard of for 175s to go there. So if there's no demand for your supply what do you do?

I think expressjet pilots would probably find a home at Skywest one way or another but I don't think the planes will
I think you're absolutely correct. Maintenance costs are becoming high on the 200s and the 145s would be another type requirement for the OO pilots.

The E175 will probably not go to the XJT but I can see a shift of CRJs to the XJT side. OO operates the E175s and XJT operates the CRJs.
