Go around performance hinders the 175 from doing Aspen...

175s will not be operated by mainline when regionals do it for half the cost.

I see that. Looks to me that the Aspen CRJ700 program is safe until 2023 when 737’s can get in and out of there. No wonder United signed a 5 year extension on Aspen flying with SkyWest.

Republic looked into replacing the Q with 170's into Aspen and they determined a point of no return would have to be established. I believe it was only for the single engine go around, but I could be wrong on that. But they ultimately decided the risk wasn't worth the reward and gave up the destination.
