You also can’t discount the TYS base. Some may bid that. Not sure where this will fall out, but the -200 base will be a factor.
If the base is desirable for ERJ pilots you might even see some of them bid for it.

The TYS base is so tiny to begin with, that I think the effect will be negligible at first.

Company email just came out. No mention of the CRJ basing yet. Headquarters staying in ATL, though...

Terry said they will most likely be based in ORD.

A bunch of ATL pilots want nothing to do with flying north of the Mason-Dixie line.

Waiting until sept 16th might give a better indication for any ‘dedicated’ ORD CRJ wannabes. I think some might be dissuaded if it looks senior.

Excellent news. Hail Mary's sometimes do score Touchdowns!

This strikes me as a short term measure to preserve a CRJ program for something bigger. 20 airframes is not a viable program, so this tells me there is more in the works.

Glad to hear the good news for XJT. It's a shame ATL as a pilot/FA base is unlikely and I doubt the HQ will be here for long, but this is some good news for a group that really needs it.

United ha got to by XJT. The status quo with Skywest owning them is not gonna work.

United has got to buy XJT. The status quo with Skywest owning them is not gonna work.

OK, Congrats!

Making sure I read everything correctly,

So you are all firing the CRJ Flight Attendants!
HQ stays in ATL.

SKW - 20 CRJ 900's @ 9 Year Contract
SKW - 20 CRJ 700's @ 4 Year Contract (XJT's Metal)
SKW - 19 CRJ 700's @ 3 year contract Extention (thru 2023)
SKW - Added 23 NEW SHINY E175's
XJT - 20 CRJ 200's @ 3 Year contract? (SKW Scrap Metal, sorry "internally-sourced CRJ200s")


Also don't forget about the ERJ. No mention if the contract was extended???????

For those that don't believe that SKW is pulling the stings, Please look at numbers.

TFAYD! Our Partners have noticed!
