Would not be shocked if XJT gets Mesas 175s... or atleast some. There is some reason why United has not extended mesa’s contract. Makes so much sense for XJT to give as much work and planes to both c5 and xjt with as much invested they have in both.

Question is when not if Expressjet goes to an all 175 fleet. Will be interesting to see what happens with the Mesa 175 and CRJ-700 contract renewals..
