The same loop hole that kept OO from getting the first order of 25 E175s in the first place.

So you don’t know ehh. You just felt like saying there is a loop hole with nothing to back it up?

Because even the Skywest press release says "NEW" flying if that opportunity comes.

What about the contract for CRJ200s that Skywest leased to ExpressJet!?! That "contract" didn't hardly let the ink dry before disappearing.

Look I'm not a Pilot for either airline but business is business and the grudge you hold makes you blind to the facts I guess.

No grudge at all. What facts am I blind to? It was a mutual agreement to get out of the CRJ 200 contract. XJET couldn’t staff them and OO needed them. Win win. Just business

Oh Honey... no. Those CRJ's are garbage. Its time. They need to stay in TUS.

XJT picked up those 200's because its faster to turn a 700 pilot into a 200 pilot than it is to go 700-145. ZW needed help and its why XJT brought on the type in under 6 weeks. Once they could feed 200 pilots through 175/145 training. those tired old airplanes went back where they came from.

I think the koolaide their feeding you at OO is apparently getting stronger....

And... if you think a nearly 100 year old multi billion dollar company can't get out of a contract with a much smaller company, you are just dumb as you sound. Here's the SEC filing with the terms of the sale if your interested...

I believe the press release stated priority position for the next 25 dual class aircraft. OO passed on the 550, and leased the airplanes to G7. UAL has satisfied that contractual obligation.
