Almost through. Should be completely done with sims by end of July.

To further clarify, they were once owned by ASA, if I’m not mistaken. In which case they were transferred to Skywest airlines and then leased back to Expressjet (ASA).

Either SKY Inc management are geniuses (evil genius) or XJT/ASA management is a bunch of morons.

They were in fine shape. Attrition on the CRJ side, and 3 fleet types made it unmanageable... so they somehow got out of the 5 year lease after 6 months on the CRJ’s. Who knows what the real deal was, but thats what i gather....

They will all be done by late August. A few, less than 5, may be done early September depending upon scheduling.

I thought it would rain man(n)a from heaven once SKYW is finally out of the picture. No?
