Where was 9e. Too late to the show. Can't fly the crj7/9 consistently when it's hard to find parts. No orders for the future. Its only time, OO will be flying only the Erj and slowly phasing out the crjs with 9e equip and parts. Its coming.Skywest is always thinking 10 years ahead of the game folks. Peace out
I don’t know why I’m replying to a 7 year old revived thread but why would Delta want to sell their only wholly owned carrier? They’d be at the mercy of SkyWest and Republic driving up whatever contract they have with them to do their flying. 9E is Delta’s tax write off and a way to stave off independent regional carriers from charging them whatever they want. Just my .02
