This deal simply accelerated the timeline.


I doubt anyone will be flying 50 seaters for much longer.

Oh rick rick rick....the isolation is starting to have an impact obviously.

Does anyone think if United dumps us that we will be picked up by another carrier?

Nope. Since United took it of SkyWest's hand, if they drop it, its done.

Midwest Express is looking for another contractor after Elite Airways pulled out.

If United can make $ off the lease they wouldn’t care.

United wouldn’t want to sell an asset to a competitor to be used against them. That would be like selling arms to your enemy during a war just to make a buck. They could potentially sell them to some foreign company though.

I don’t know. The 50 seaters were approaching the end of their service before this. My guess is that they will end up like the Saab 340 and the BE 1900, they just go away. Scope is maxed out, so there are no more rj’s to be had. I guess we’ll all have a pretty good idea of what the plan is as October 1 approaches.
