And, SGU has a track record of investing in XJT..... a new jet on a certificate involves investment.
I don’t doubt CRJ on the XJT certificate is possible. And, 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.

It has nothing to do with investment. It takes forever for the FAA to sign off a new type on a certificate. So United would basically be buying pilots and no aircraft. It would be cheaper to hire them off the street. Skywest has nutered the once great jetlink... expressjet.

If UAL acquires XJT, UAL already “own” the 145’s (even though they are leasing them from Wells Fargo). XJT pilots would be an excellent fit. UAL gets the 121 certificate, the pilots and UAL already has the planes.
