Exactly!
Delta recently ordered 20 new -900s that will be configured with 70 seats. Those will go to Skywest. GoJet operates 20 -700s for Delta.
Now United orders 25 new 175s that will (supposedly) be configured with 70 seats. GoJet operates 25-700s for United.
It seems logical that these new aircraft will be used to replace GoJet aircraft. However the deliveries don’t start until 2019 so even if these are replacement aircraft it will still take 1-2 years before GoJet is completely out of business.
What that means for a potential new hire, is that if you come to GoJet now you will be able to get 1000 121 time, but will most likely be out of a job before you get the chance to be failed at your upgrade.
