Every time Expressjet gets a 175, Gojet loses ability to fly a 700. Delta continues to take 2 per month. So Gojet loses 6 planes a month times 10 pilots per plane, that is 60 pilots fewer needed per month. Shortage is suddenly over for G7. Furloughs to begin.
If you don't hear a solution to the 550 problem by the end of tomorrow I think we can conclude G7 is over and just not telling everyone until they have to. The United MEC can waive scope for G7 to keep flying but limit the seats to 50. If they don't and United refuses to test that, it is over.
Unless of course if American has them start flying for them. That might happen too.

FWIW, the big wigs at Endeavor are said to be convinced that we'll be getting all of the Delta GoJet flying. Could be a coincidence, or could be stringing along. It wouldn't be the first for either.

OO does the same. I’m sure it’s probably standard practice in the industry.
Lots of this for RTP dudes, or it would take 3-4 years for them to upgrade instead of 18months
