This 700 rumor is right on schedule, seems this time every year we hear it. But let's just try and dream for a minute. I can almost believe it is possible that they stop taking 200s from expressjet due to the fact that they are in horrendous condition and need a lot more work than they thought they would. But, I don't see them cutting off Gojetz and taking 700s from them because that would just make too much sense. Possibly expressjet instead? Who knows, we'd love to take our PQ 900s back if they don't want them.

The thing I definitely don't believe is the E jets. Who are they gonna come from? Compass? I guess it's possible and we open a west coast base but highly unlikely. That's a huge undertaking opening West Coast operations while also operating a brand new aircraft type at the same time. Seems like too big of a bite that RG wouldn't want to chew. We also don't want to end up with a bunch of frames we can't staff, that will hurt our performance by stretching resources thin and therefore be on daddy's bad side. Only way I see that plane here is with a Compass merger, and we all know we don't want that.
