UAX is going to shrink significantly unless a modern 50 seat replacement that is scope compliant enters production soon. The best hope for Air Wisconsin is that GoJet gives up and you guys end up with the 550’s. That’s a risky gamble when both Mesa and SkyWest have 700 training programs in place and SkyWest is facing the same threat with the future of their 200’s. The record hiring at all of the legacies is going to hit the regionals really hard. I’m guessing that the smaller companies are either eliminated, or get merged into the bigger ones. Either way, the next few years are going to be a wild ride.
