I figured it would be CRJ550’s since UA is scoped out on the large RJs, but they could have either had this planned all along or it coincidentally came to fruition and fulfilled the remainder of the sale agreement.

Goijg forward if we continue to lose out on UA flying for 175’s, then I would say something is up either with Being too expensive with UA or Us not wanting to deal with them.


The only thing keeping us from flying further west is lack of Mx in DEN. Why it is not just a MX base for us like CLT is I don’t get. I had a emergency exit sign break and that plane was down for 8 hours while they flew the new plastic cover in...
Denver airport charges a ridiculous tax on any maintenance done and parts storage at the airport. That’s straight from one of the company execs that stopped by my last recurrent class. I’ve seen a couple southwest jets in COS so I don’t know if they repo airplanes there for maintenance to avoid the tax at DEN.
