I am a sucker for believing in the unlikely: I believe SGU plans to sell XJT to United once American flying is gone. United won’t have a problem investing in XJT as a wholly owned.
I am just being skeptical given SGU’s track record of investing further in XJT on their own dime.
It has nothing to do with investment. It takes forever for the FAA to sign off a new type on a certificate. So United would basically be buying pilots and no aircraft. It would be cheaper to hire them off the street. Skywest has nutered the once great jetlink... expressjet.
