Listened in on the OO earnings call today, they’re still planning on leasing the 550’s but CC made it clear that multiple carriers were potentially in the running. Honestly he didn’t sound very optimistic about a deal even going through for any carrier.
I have no idea if UA is negotiating back and forth with GoJet and another competitor for a cheaper contract, or scope is potentially being negotiated on UA’s end voiding the need for future 550’s. I have no idea, don’t shoot the messenger, just saying the optimism is our CEO’s voice was low when asked the question.
