please post a source for that because there has never been a statement for 39 planes.
United ordered 20 +19 options. Those options can only be delivered if Skywest has their 19 CRJ7’s converted to CRJ5’s as those are the last CRJ7 aircraft in the UAX fleet. Mesa’s announcement for 20 175’s was them taking over the financing obligation from United for the 20 175’s United ordered.
