Default What will happen to RAH's 170s with F9?

Just out of curiosity, and certainly wishing the best to the Frontier folks, but if they don't make it through, what will happen to the 170's that RAH has in that system? Will they trade paint and go into another system? Will they go back to the leasing party?

I figure you guys would be able to put them in service with Delta or United...thoughts?........

Delta will probably not hesitate to grab them.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, they seem to be a great demand this days. If the worse happens I do hope they find homes for those frames.

On a similar note, what will happen to all the CRJs for SkyWest when Midwest goes under? (Not that they necessarily will, but they seem to be the weak link for SkyWest stability.)

I didn't even think about that. Wow, this could get ugly for some folks. All the best to them.

We'll have plenty of demand for those excess airframes when Mesa goes under. RAH cant' get them fast enough right now.

This credit card company issue is interesting. I hope it works out well for the great people at Frontier/Lynx and for that matter, Republic

With MidEx's latest moves, they might need Skywest to get some 900s painted blue and the cookie ovens installed. In four years when the contract is up, I can't see TPG reupping right before they will be able to dismantle MidEx (...er, give first rights to NWA)

RAH is air frame short. I don't know what the future holds but with UAL and Delta wanting more frames I can see them finding homes. However Chapter 11 is not the end for F9. I don't know where they can go from here but hopefully RAH keeps getting paid.

Lets hope not...with Midex furloughing it would be a shame to do this.
