I don’t think The first thing on UA’s mind is the 550’s.. OO has stoped sending any to GJ..(do to covid/cost/uncertainty). UA has bigger fish to fry. And can GoJet afford to only have 3 aircraft in the air at one time..???...

Exactly. The news cycle is showing Berkshire Hathaway has sold all their shares involved with the majors. They just lost the confidence of W. Buffet. I don’t think the small planes are as important anymore to UAL management.

I think too many people are reading into the Warren Buffet nonsense. True. Him selling his share in the airlines caused them to take it on the chin in the market today. But, Warren Buffet never really liked investing in airlines and didnt do so until 2016. Most airlines will recover from this market hit over the course of this month. The only one that should be crapping their pants is AA.

Note:
Not talking about covid fallout just the drop today from Warren Buffet.

Looking at the news over in the SkyWest forum and placing that against the backdrop of what Kirby said a few weeks ago, this doesn't look good for you guys. Nobody knows exactly how many of these 50 seaters will be flying when things settle down, but I can't see more than 60-70 or so. AW, CA, and XJT pilots all hypothesizing about who would get that flying and ole Chip swoops in. It's amazing how those guys always seem to make out in these situations.

He’s alluding to SkyWest earnings call, saying UA signed a 3 year extension on the 200’s.

Didn't see it in there. But it was discussed during the virtual town hall meeting on Thursday.
