Surprised no one posted the rumors
That the company has already bought 4-5 700s. And that they already sent maintenance to go get training in it. Also, heard they are creating an FCM for the 700. Another rumor is we might be getting a DEN base. Also currently heard Union guys are negotiating pay rates for the 700.

What’s next on the hit parade? Is Scooter serious about only 4 ‘partners?’ If he is, I predict ZW beats G7. Skypest is ‘dug in like an Alabama tick’ by owning all the infrastructure from Denver west. Who wins between YX and YV? Bedford is smarter than JO but less ruthless and unethical. Too close to call. More carnage any way you slice it.

I can also confirm that they are working on the MEL right now for the 700, along with probably other documents too. I would not be surprised if that money transfer was a sort of agreement to purchase some kind of aircraft from UAL or another regional, whether or not it's a 700 or 550 doesn't really matter to me though.

Memories of rumors past...
I remember when I got hired in 2007 that there were rumors of CRJ-700 FCM/MEL documents all ready to go, from PP himself. MX guys were rumored to be going to training on bigger CRJ's, and being seen measuring the hangars for -700 clearance. The DEN pilots have *always* been wishing for a base there.
My favorite was when someone photoshopped a picture of a CRJ-900 in AA colors with "Operated by AWAC" photoshopped by the pax door. Very convincing.
I wish you guys the best. Hopefully 550's are in your future.
