Gen Z/Millenials have never flown on a turboprop and have no preconceived hatred for them. Make them comfortable, give them good WiFi, cheap tickets, and good eco-centric marketing and they’ll work.

I’m willing to bet behind closed doors AW is fighting for those 550’s aggressively. But may I also add, the CRJ program is shut down, so that’ll give them more time, but it doesn’t secure much of a future.

They don’t even make anymore 7/900s anymore so any that they get ,IF they get any , will be worn out .
Me personally, I would lhave built a 175 program and moved forward with that. Skywest adding 20 more for AA, Mesa adding 20 more for UA to replace the 700s going to G7 for conversion. What do we get ? Nothing but a crappy rate to fly a plane that we haven’t secured flying for. WTF
The times , the industry, everything has changed and if they don’t change with it, they will be left in the dust by Skywest , Mesa etc .
No one cares that ZW was a premier place to work 20 years ago.
They are doing everything they can to tarnish that reputation in my opinion.

The AW CRJ200 fleet powered by CF34-3 engines are old gas guzzlers with multiple overhauls. The oldest 200’s in UA’s fleet correct?
