They are having interviews starting next year with no projected staffing date. TOWOP is for current months schedules. Plus the turnover rate of flight attendants has always been an all time high because they don’t realize they are on call all day to fly to central wisconsin for min rest after their base just closed and did a two leg commute.

So nobody thinks the owner of Gojets sold the planes to cash out because he couldn't sell the operation as an equitable company, and AW or Mesa will be flying 550's leased from Skywest?
Kinda sounds like he sold them so he can ride off into the sunset, and is only leasing them back though the holidays for a smoother transition. I would think it's extremely risk to sell the planes and pump the proceeds back into an airline in the middle of Covid, especially after shutting two down.

That has been in the back of my mind since our earnings call. I don't know enough about Mesa's agreement with united, i.e. how scope limited they are. Since they seem to be taking more ERJs and trying to bring them to IAD as well, and it sounds like they're parking the 700s, I guess there's a chance the 550s could fit in at Mesa if they don't affect scope. However, AW still seemed like a more likely destination in my mind but that's just a wild guess. Mostly because of the effort to get the 700 on their cert, trying to develop a program, I'm sure they'd be eager to have them to help recall guys. Also already having an ORD base where GoJet has been flying the 550. I mean I guess mesa could try to set up ORD, but it just seems easier to AW already there. But again, that's just a wild guess. I never really thought they'd get the 737 over at Mesa, yet here we are in this timeline.
