The 175 coming to xjt was just a ploy to get the pilot group to sign the contract and for those planes to get certified in my opinion.

It doesn't cost anything to keep CRJ (and 175, for that matter) materials in the training program. Unfortunately, I think that's done more in the name of flexibility in case an opportunity comes up, rather than reflecting insight about something that's actually in the works.

I would expect those 550’s to go to SkyWest. They’re basically 700’s. SkyWest has the crews, parts and sims to fly them. They will give up 200’s in exchange for them.

I don’t see GoJet weathering this storm. 33 airplanes is not enough to make this profitable.

What's crazy to me, and I don't have the facts just speculating. But is XJT now paying the lease payments to United on the 36 145's from trans states because they shut their doors early. I would assume so now that they are on property. But if so that just shows we are a pawn in United's little game; make XJT pay for planes they know will be sitting anyway due to the virus and bleed the company dry.

Does XJT pay for any of the leases? I was under the impression United did for all the aircraft, as well as fuel. XJT just takes care of staffing, MX, etc.

Last I heard they the TS planes were all going to the desert from TYS soon.

I’m by no means an expert or knowledgeable in getting planes from Brazil to the states to operate in the states but that box was checked when xjt did that. Also reading the clause in the contract signed it deemed that this was the plan all along
