I’m guessing Republic will stay in EWR. I haven’t heard anything about Skywest at IAD other than your post. Not discounting it, but if they want to buy XJT, they will need to give us a home.
I assume United will wait to buy XJT until after the American CRJ side is wound down. When United buys XJT, they will spin its pilots up on the 175 - not the 900. United will want a clean company without a lot of unresolved liabilities. Hence, the severance packages.
In the announcement you posted, United announces increased 175 flying out of Newark (Republic) and EAS 200 flying out of Dulles (SkyWest). I don’t see any large RJ adds to Dulles. Where do you see that in this article?
