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.
Not to mention if United files bankruptcy anything can happen with scope. Plenty of pilots may try to bend scope in order to save jobs. |
Can possibly expect see the 550s around as UAX 50 seat flying, Kirby to go after FA union scope in addition to pilot scope limits and XJT and C5 flying 175s in the long run, potentially as UAL Wholly Owned subsidiaries.

Will ExpressJet survive this?

Doubt that... There are only 33 550’s and the the additional 20 are on hold. Besides the 550 being a multi class aircraft is a bigger threat to mainline flying than the 145s. Also UAL owns the 145s, the 550’s are leased Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thought United leases the 145’s as well? Or are they all payed off?
I think the LR’s are paid off. The XR’s are probably still under a factory lease. Still probably better terms than Skywest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The 550 being dual class is why United likes it. The single class, tiny cabin, E145 and CRJ 200 is what the customers hate. It may be a ride from point a to b, but it is a poor product.

I agree the UAL likes the 550. But their are only 33 of them. Not enough to build a fleet. Cabin wise it’s the same width of tube as the 200, just longer. passengers don’t about length as much as they do girth. They would rather have a 737 or an A320. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
