That I do not know. Are all the GoJet 550s accounted for? If so then there’s a decent chance they can be converted for y’all.

XJT will be flying those 175s.

UA has saved Awac and Gojet I would almost be surprised if it isn’t compass.

United makes 49 cents on the dollar at ExpressJet. It makes sense to give them as much flying as possible and regrow that company back to its Continental Express days. United didn't buy a 175 sim and cabin trainer for 25 airplanes people. Also, you will see United dwindle down to 3 to 4 regional carriers, just like American and Delta. They need to control the quality of their product more than anyone else.

Very true on the needing more the. 25 aircraft 50 is the break even point... any less then that and the fleet is not efficient enough..

True, 25 aircraft justifies a sim acquisition but 50 aircraft allows the fleet to operate efficiently and make profits.

25 aircraft should justify TWO simulators when you have new hires and recurrent needs.

I figure 1 sim for every 30 aircraft.. do the math. How many CRJ sims does Mesa have divide the fleet by that...
