What’s your scope at AA? I thought we were all maxed out? UA has all the large RJs they can get and I’m pretty sure DL is too.

They are scoped out on 76 seaters, I’m almost positive.

Mesa has some pretty haggard old 900s. Probably replacing those or some other old large RJs.

Are any of these actually new orders? Or just exercising options?

They have a number of CR7's that can be converted down to 65 seats and open up large RJ spots...

Is this because of the used frontier airbuses we're getting? Doesn't mainline growth let them add more?

Already done at PSA. Started about a year ago all the 67 seaters are 65 and they are changing the 63s to 65.

Hope this helps info dated May 17.

Current commuter aircraft 561

Current AA Narrow body 799

Allowable commuter 75% of NB fleet

Allowable aircraft size: Large 66-76 seats* and 86,000 # MTOW., max 40% NB fleet
*(76 aircraft US air regional grandfathered to 79/80 seats)

As of this analysis 599 aircraft total allowed, 279 small and 320 large. I do not know if there is a distinction between owned and non-owned companies.

Apologies for the formatting, unable to copy and paste table.

Reading the the announcements and other info, at least the 900’s appear to be new orders in addition to what was already in order/options.

They have to replace the lost lift of Trans States and ExpressJets perhaps?
