I think the main issue is theis new “Entity” Looks to not be buying the aircraft themselves. I think long run thats not the best for the pilots. Case in point Republic/SkyWest model.. (they purchase most there aircraft) thats why in a ressesion they grew.. No major will shell out billions for aircraft for a regional in a ressesion.. The best thing to happen is XJT getting the E175. They can only grow from there. The E145 was/is a shrinking fleet..
ManaAir = United. CommutAir = United. United owns the E175’s going to ManaAir. Xjet’s CRJ200’s in ORD is a stop gap measure to retain the ASA pilots until the new ManaAir management team is put into place and figures things out. The CRJ200 lease is “up to” 5 years.
Does anyone know the closing date on the ManaAir purchase?
