Why even bring up the E175SC's? Nothing has been awarded..
You mean losing the American and Delta contracts is still a loss. Yes, everyone agrees with that.
The fact that United is stepping forward with whatever they can do is “something”. (They are capped out and can only add 50 seat flying.)
The E175 is a sought after aircraft by pilots, and getting these 25 70 seaters while another carrier loses their 25 700’s is the first possible win I have seen Xjet have in a while. And, it is a win because Xjet management has convinced SGU to consider implementing a 175 program (or at least letting Xjet pilots sit in on SKW’s 175 program) when SGU has shown little interest in the past of extending Xjet’s existence.
This may all be a ruse, but if it is, Xjet’s MEC is naive or blind.
