I’d think Mesa or Skywest would get them as they already have 175s in their fleet and could be a one for one swap for Mesa CRJ 700 pretty much

Mesa would be calling first!

I think Mesa has 20 CRJs under IAX, GoJet has 25 under UAX. 25 CRJs will be cut. The airline getting the 175s won’t necessarily be the airline losing the -700s.

Exactly!

Delta recently ordered 20 new -900s that will be configured with 70 seats. Those will go to Skywest. GoJet operates 20 -700s for Delta.

Now United orders 25 new 175s that will (supposedly) be configured with 70 seats. GoJet operates 25-700s for United.

It seems logical that these new aircraft will be used to replace GoJet aircraft. However the deliveries don’t start until 2019 so even if these are replacement aircraft it will still take 1-2 years before GoJet is completely out of business.

What that means for a potential new hire, is that if you come to GoJet now you will be able to get 1000 121 time, but will most likely be out of a job before you get the chance to be failed at your upgrade.

Delta Connection VP announced to Endeavor that the Skywest order is not fleet growth there but renewal. They have old 700s that need replacement as well... the replacement for the 22 700s at GoJet hasn’t been announced yet but this VP says Delta Connection is going down to 3 carriers...

The Brickyard guys might have more recent information, but didn't the Rev state he was getting 15 more frames starting in the second half of 2018?

Not necessarily out of a job, but looking for a job at a different carrier.

Why waste 2 years of seniority at GoJet then?

Management is very tight lipped when it comes to aircraft. There wasn't even a rumor for an aircraft order coming prior to our 100 order two days ago.

But I do believe you are correct that sometime in last 6 months he said something along those lines. 3 presumably were already our own aircraft and will be for Delta. Our 3 Company painted E170's are being reconfigured and will fly exclusively for Delta now rather than being spares. The other 12 aircraft I believe will be the 12 E175's we gave up to United during BK that management didn't think they would be able to staff and that UA placed at Mesa. It is my understanding that Mesa has most of them if not all of them parked due to not being able to staff them.
