It doesn't surprise me that J.O. would try to liquidate any assets left in an attempt to keep the "Titanic" afloat a bit longer.

 

if i was a mesa pilot i would try to get another job asap, as long there are some open rt now

 

I think most, if not all of the CHQ CRJs have BR or CA tail numbers. Its my understanding that the BR tails are ex-ACA/Indy birds (their callsign was "blueridge" wasn't it?) and the CA tails are ex-Comair.

 

We still haven't answered the question of where this info came from. Sure sounds like someone is just making things up to get you all going.

 

But it's working, no?!

 

what's the sn# on 403SW?
I'm pretty sure I flew 7002 at skyw about 6months ago. i remember telling the fo that this was the hull they finished flight testing on.(as 7001 went down will the crew in a test flight)

According to the annual report (dated Sept. 30, 2007), heres what we own and lease.

CRJ 200: own 2, lease 57.
CRJ 700: own 8, lease 12.
CRJ 900: own 14, lease 25.
ERJ 145: all 36 leased.
Beech 1900: own all 34 (I think we have sold 20 since publishing)
Dash-8: all 16 leased.

By my count we own 38 airplanes, only 24 of which are jets.

We lease 157 airplanes, roughly 79% of our fleet.

 

Wow, that's a lot of leases...makes me suspect it's likely that JO will fight on to the bitter end, until he's forced to file Ch.11 (or 7) by outside factors.

If he files Ch.11 pre-emptively, the lessors might just take their airplanes back...ESPECIALLY the 900's and maybe the 700's. Normally a lessor would prefer to help the company to stay in business so they can keep making lease payments, but the 900's (especially) and 700's are hot commodities. The lessor might simply prefer to place them with a stable company rather than deal with BK dynamics.
