As the guy mentioned who you responded to SkyWest doesn’t have an option when the RJ700’s are retired so a 50 seat 175 may be the ONLY option. They will absolutely make a shlt ton of $ flying 50 seat 175’s, just not as much as with the 700’s.

But yes absolutely they would require more than a few 50 seat 175’s. Do the economic’s make sense compared to flying your regularl scheduled 70-76 flight to something-ville USA, idk.

I’ve been waiting for you to “school” me with information for the last few days now. You don’t have anything, you’re that moron in class who just thinks they’re really smart until they actually have to explain their reasoning.

Your insecurities are showing on a massive level on how you are approaching this by the way.

I did not pull 50 seats in a 175 out of thin air. I’m not employed at SkyWest. I have no recent insider knowledge on how the program is progressing.

I know the 50 seat discussion didn't come out of thin air, as ASE has been spit balled with ideas for years on what to do. The Q400 experiment with Republic was a perfect example of that...

Has everything to do with understanding the market, the operation, and the the nuts and bolts of how ASE works. Without first hand knowledge and experience, you are talking out of your rectum.
ASE has a capacity problem. Seat inventory and operational capacity. Contrary to popular belief, ticket yields in ASE are no higher than most, so the idea they are rolling around in money over ASE is false. Its the demand and the high profile clientele that makes it such a big deal. Shrinking seat capacity, along with putting in an airplane that will take up more room on the ground is not the direction anyone wants to go.
Also, you said there is no competition in ASE? What a dumb statement this is. Of course there is....United, Delta and American are all in competition in ASE.
