I’m just going to leave this right here. Not going to speculate, but this backs up the death of 200’s.

Also added 150 shares of the stock ($ACIC) to my portfolio. Looks like Mesa is involved.
This is competing with Uber and Blade, it’s not even close to a -200’s mission.

I think you’re both missing my point. I think this shows UA is going in a different direction and joining the EV movement. Would not be surprised to see a big order of A220’s in the near future, which opens up the 175 scope.

Not making an argument for this competing with the 200 market, I think UA is really done with them though. We’ll see I guess.

Alternate theory:
UA is doing corporate "greenwork" so no one scrutinizes the emissions released into the upper troposphere. The old musician's trick, "look at my left hand..."

Oh yeah, I agree with that. Thougt you were saying those were competing for our flying. A220s are definitely possible, but will take time to get still. Maybe early next year at the earliest.

Last email from CEO was over a month ago, starting to feel like the AA wind down all over again...though this time there’s not a magic savior at the end of the tunnel. I’ve tried really hard to be optimistic, but the companies actions don’t show us to much to be optimistic over. 700/900 additions were 5 years too late.
For all AW’s management savvy and brilliance, I personally think they got too comfortable and complacent with the 200 because they’re paid off and were earning them buckets of money.

What I’m guessing they didn’t consider was the ugly side of it all and they thought they’d escape unscathed like they did previously and everything would be hunky dory with the 200s again.

It almost seems like they’re now trying to play catch-up adding the 700 and 900 to the operating certificate when others had them for years already.

The simple fact is AW doesn’t even have the airplanes on the fleet/property so it’s all hearsay and speculation for now.

Like all things AW, until we can physically see those planes on property and believe it, is when we have them to fly.

As for communication between management and employees, they really need to work on that. It’s almost like Viceroy Gunray in Star Wars saying “no need to report that to him until we have something to report.”

Phantom Menace is better than Episodes 7-9? Now THAT is one heck of a controversial take on this website.
