There wasn’t anything wild or strange about gojetfires post IMO. I don’t know if it will happen but soft landings and quick upgrades aren’t really out of left field.
The bigger issue i see is skywest needing to open an East cost mx base or two if OO started flying the 550.

Aren’t most of the 550s flying out of ORD?
We have Nashville MX now. I bet they could handle it.
Again, assuming any of this happens.
I’m guessing 550s stay leased out (per CC previous comments)… to gojet or someone else, it doesn’t matter.

OO has bigger fish to deal with the adding of 45 ERJ and 20 700’s in the next 12 months.. and attrition is steady at 90-100 a month. Thats enough to deal with. OO already owns the majority of the AC GoJet flys. And they started a leasing business to make it successful not pull the aircraft back to OO.. They would most likely lease them to Air Wisconsin or commute air before flying the aircraft themselves…

Not to contradict amcnd, but to add to his thoughts:
Might it be helpful to Skw to fly a few of the 550 so that they have increased flexibility to take in and lease out 550s/700s?
United wants out of the 200s but that gives them the advantage of being outside of scope.
Looking forward to thoughts about this.

Skywest doesn’t want anything to do with the 550s.
Leasing them out to GoJet makes them a lot of money. And they love that. I’m sure United has already asked Skywest to give up there 700s to GoJet to convert them to 550s. And in return more 175s for them. It’s just a matter of time.
Unfortunately all the Aviate partners. Including AW, C5 and G7 are bleeding. Especially after Americans retention bonuses they just announced with their WO.
I’m sure something is currently in the works.
G7 is already offering 200-300% pay this month for flying. You got FOs already crediting 190+ hours this month.
