Skywest isn't flying them, they are leasing them to another expressjet carrier.

“SkyWest also secured agreements to acquire 21 used CRJ700s in a 50-seat configuration and lease the aircraft under a multi-year term to another regional airline operating for United Airlines. The aircraft purchases and leases are expected to be completed in Q4 2020.”

Which United regional are these 21 planes going to?

my understanding is those planes were owned by G7, gojet needed money so skywest bought them and leased them back to gojet.

The planes are already at GoJet. GoJet can’t afford them so sold the planes to OO who is in turn leasing them back to GoJet.

They have the funds to convert them.

I'm not sure it was strictly because they couldn't afford them. They sold the planes to Skywest in order to gain a cash infusion to keep the operation running.
Maybe having the cash on hand was to avoid something in the short term like bankruptcy? Which doesn't bode well with investors.
I'm no economist, but it sounds like a smart move.

What is public knowledge is that:
1. Compass shut down this year
2. Trans States shut down this year
3. SkyWest was going to lease 29 CRJ700 airframes to GoJet, but GoJet had to return three and could not accept the remaining 13 due to financial issues. This is per the SkyWest earnings statement.
4. Now SkyWest is purchasing 21 airframes from GoJet and leasing them back to them.

Everything else is speculation from the evidence and clues.
