Your right. Just want to still believe I have a shot while still relatively young.

Yes, Skywest does.

Your answer is very similar to being not helpful.

Unfortunately for me, Gojet is not trying to keep the Skywest 550s but is trying to sell their contract, manuals, training program.
Fortunately for me, there isn't much interest.

Any acquiring airline would need to take the manuals and convert them into their own. Gojet's methodology is to just type their name over what someone else gives them, such as Bombardier. Not a very sellable product.

Today I am literally reviewing a Gojet manual where the procedure tells the reader to contact a certain department. The problem is that Gojet has never had such a department. The company they took the manual from I guess had such a department.

In the current state of the airline industry an airline taking the 550s will have time to create their own manuals and procedures so there is no time rush, little value having it already done. I expect another airline to create their own, convert their own few planes to 550s, and then boom, GJ's will be gone. So until SW does that I think there is some safety. Long term, the chances of GJ keeping them is zero.

Considers your sources, this one has never had a positive post (about anything), and was sure the 550 was fake and just to get deals on 175s...

They are merely being used to keep the prices of the 175s down, now that there is only one maker of RJs.

United wanted to tell Embraer that they have other options. "Look Embraer, we took 29 700s out of the desert and that means we don't need 29 175s at that price you want.

I like your outlook much better, I’m staying positive until crushed by disappointment if it goes that way.

You know the 550 is exactly the same as the 700, except a "paper" limited weights and interior seats/storage modification, right?
