Not Mesa imo.

Shuttle America flies 175s for Delta and is under the 86,000 lbs weight limit. The only reason that Compass has a higher weight is because they have a shorter interval between landing gear inspections. All the 175s flying under the RAH banner have a Max ramp less than 86,000 lbs.

Doesn't make much sense, does it. And keep in mind that you'll hear an announcement this week that another regional airline will be awarded an additional (new) 24 CRJ 900s, (no I won't say who). Why would airlines continue to order RJ's if they're worried about a shortage of pilots to fly them. Maybe it was the 25,600 people who took the ATP written in the first half of 2014 that has given the airlines the confidence to continue to bring-on RJ's, (although they won't admit that because they want to scare the government into lowering pilot minimums,...... so they can continue to pay rock-bottom wages to new hire pilots with rock-bottom experience). |

All the 175s flying under the RAH banner have a Max ramp less than 86,000 lbs. As per Delta Scope clauses. The Compass 175's were grandfathered in from when they were owned by Delta. S5 had to reverse the >86,000# mod after DALPA caught wind of it and S5 was fined. Even the Compass 175s originally were 85,500ish. NWA had already purchased / done the paperwork for the 89k max T/O at the time of the merger. I guess Delta decided to use something that was already paid for and grandfathered in the 36 175s. They were converted in early 2009 IIRC. |

So, is goat jet still getting these?? Or are these additional airframes?

Previously awarded flying, they couldn't find any used birds

Fly GoJets, the world's first-choice aircraft graveyard for failing or transforming regionals.

Pluna
The CRJ 900's are former Pluna aircraft manufactured in 2008. Clean aircraft with 8-9000 hrs each on them...been sitting in Uruguay
