An excerpt:
United Airlines has increased its commitments for the new Bombardier CRJ550, the new 50-seat regional jet with first-class seats that it plans to introduce before the end of the year.
The Chicago-based carrier will add 54 of the aircraft, which are re-certified Bombardier CRJ700 airframes, through 2020, United disclosed in a second-quarter financial filing. It previously planned to add 50 CRJ550s.

GoJet gets the first 25 but cannot day when they will start to fly. The plan was to already be flying them. Currently they don’t know when they were going into use but are hoping It will be by the end of the year. The delay is allowing Skywest to possibly start flying 29 instead of the original plan. United is trying hard not to have all 550 eggs in. One basket.
