Honestly makes a lot of sense. It’s perfectly timed to match what could be the end of the DL contract if not renewed. Expressjet is kind of busy already with their 175 deliveries. Supposedly they’re not very happy with Mesa. And Skywest prefers to own their own aircraft and I’m sure the Compass bid was very competitive, combined with the fact Trans States Holdings just won the CRJ550 flying for Gojet so I’m sure that led to some discussions about 175s. Supposedly we just narrowly missed getting UA flying before that went to Mesa and had even been told it was ours before the press release went out saying it was Mesa. Combine that with RT talking about having to deal with big changes being part of this job on the last call. As far as rumors go, it seems more solid than many others.
