The ones discussed earlier in this thread for the dispatchers, crew tracking and FA’s.

In the announcement you posted, United announces increased 175 flying out of Newark (Republic) and EAS 200 flying out of Dulles (SkyWest). I don’t see any large RJ adds to Dulles. Where do you see that in this article?

The CPA being negotiated currently is for CR7s I believe.

Where are the 700’s coming from?

The American and Delta side of XJT.

I thought SGU has all those committed for SKW flying already.

Unless there’s an announcement, your belief is the safe assumption. They are trying to place the 700’s owned by XJT with United somehow. For now, as Delta operations shut down, they are being transferred to the American side. Once American operations shut down, they will either go to the (unannounced at this point) United side or over to SkyWest.

Given the announcement that American’s XJT’s flying was transitioning to SKW, I figured SGU was just placing the 700’s with American.

You know it takes almost a year to get a new type on a certificate.

And, SGU has a track record of investing in XJT..... a new jet on a certificate involves investment.

I am a sucker for believing in the unlikely: I believe SGU plans to sell XJT to United once American flying is gone. United won’t have a problem investing in XJT as a wholly owned.

I am just being skeptical given SGU’s track record of investing further in XJT on their own dime.
