At least that's how I understand it. Maybe that's incorrect?
Yeah, the next production slots are tagged for SKYW orders.
However, this is a function of supply and demand. I don't think SGU is gonna write a $25M check for an aircraft they don't have a contract for.
On the flip side, it will be difficult for another regional to promise any E175 flying if they cannot have a delivery slot before 2020 or so.
All of this can change depending on who has the leverage.
