But if United has stake in companies like XJT and C5, why would they let them die and let SkyWest, Mesa and Republic live on with 70+ seat UA flying? Wouldn’t they want those jets transferred over? Again, I have no idea how this works.
One is ownership of the jets.. SkyWest and Republic own most of there jets.. Second is cost to move them over, or cost to acquire more 80-76 seat jets. (UA doesnt have the Capital and “shell companies” like C5/XJT don't have the credit or capital.. Plus more RJ won’t even be needed in 6months-3 year time frame... just bad luck. Good luck to us all..
