The Chicago-based carrier had 494 regional aircraft, including 235 large regional jets and 238 jets with up to 50 seats, in its feeder fleet at the end of 2016, its latest fleet plan shows."
You are right, it's a factor. Noboby can grow without addressing that. Thanks, but I understand scope. According to these numbers, there's room for 30 large RJs somewhere. Didn't UA recently announce they were buying 25 E175s? I'm sure ZW, and every other contractor, are in some kind of competition for the planes. I'm sure it will be an interesting negotiation soon. Kirby and the UA MEC have already started their war of words. We'll see what the future holds ....

Those 170/175’s are going to Expressjet, likely taking old 700/900 flying away from gojet. That was a key point in their new contract.
It’s doubtful United pilots would give any more leeway on scope given how much that has already screwed them.

Air Wisconsin is top notch pay/benefits. They always have been. My main concern is will a privately held company (mostly older ready for retirement ownership) want to invest billions in new aircraft and 20 year loans/leases?? Doubtful for owners in there 60’s..??...
