Yep, and OO has zero reason or incentive to place the 175 with XJT. None. They would have already done it and/or tied your next TA to growth if they had any desire to place a new fleet type with XJT.
OO has systemically dismantled a once proud airline and its borderline criminal what they've done in a very shameless manner.

What about the millions of dollars needed for tooling to maintain these aircraft? Big enough hangers? How much money is needed for spare parts on hand? How long would it take to train Pilots, FA's and MX? Where would SIM time come from? It's spoken for. Yeah OO may have helped QX but OO didn't foot the bill to do it..

Embraer runs the parts programs, many of the parts are pooled. All aircraft deliveries come with SIM provided by the manufacturer up to the point of staffing the initial delivery. Also the FAA is close to allowing carriers return to the practice of using 190 sims and a difference training, that should ease a good deal of the pressure on 170 sim. 6 weeks to train a class of FAs, 8 weeks to train a class of mechs, 90 days to train a class of pilots.
Probably the largest valid point you posted was tooling, it would be one of the only expenses unique to the launch of an airframe. The rest are all incidental to new deliveries, whether you already fly them or not.

I actually can see Inc letting XJT win this one as a spanking for the petulant golden children. How dare they vote down a TA?? This will be a reminder to them of what happens when they disappoint CC.
But even if the 25 go to XJT, it will probably be temporary as long as we are owned by SkyWest. Inc has figured this out with the transfer of the CRJs and bases to Inc. Let ExpressJet cover the flying for a while and spend money on constructing crew lounges and such. Then slowly poach the mechanics as they did in DTW. After all, who wants to work outside in the winter when you can work in a hanger? Then close the XJT MX base and have XJT pay Inc for substandard contract MX. After all, their priority will be their own aircraft. So our performance stats go down disappointing UAL.
Once the panicking SkyWest pilots cave in and sign, and once it's clear that SkyWest can staff the flying, SkyWest will make sure we don't win a renewal of the contract.

It does come with time in the dedicated Embraer-owned sim located in STL. Are you saying 25 new Ejets only comes with 50 pilots’ worth of training? Don’t think so.

But i agree. Moot point. If XJT cannot get a CRJ700 deal. How are they going to get a nee type deal...

Xjet didn’t get a 700 deal because United withdrew the 700 deal and replaced it with a E175SC deal. Same deal, different aircraft.
