Yeah ok...

It looks like the mainline United pilots might be making a play to fly them:

Purely out of curiosity, why is the 700 the only ASE capable AC? I don’t know anything about ASE ops, but isn’t the max wingspan 95’? Or am I missing something else here?

I’ve been told the ERJ doesn’t have the balked landing performance.... wingspan has been a issue for mainline type aircraft...

So United is planning on removing owned 175s from Mesa but these might be going to Mesa?
That doesn’t t even make sense in airline speak.

The wingspan is just one issue. The other issue is performance. High altitude combined with a short runway (for the altitude) and rising terrain in all directions, there aren't many aircraft that have the single engine performance.

Gotcha. Us flatlanders from the Midwest don’t have to think too heavily about the “high” part from “hot, heavy, n high” 😝

I was told it was single engine departure procedures. Only the 700 has sufficient performance. The 900 doesn’t even qualify.
