Default Embraer 135 returning to XJT

Starting in April. 5 of them coming back online, and our contract with United for 14 E-145's was extended for 3 more years. This explains a little of the hiring surge going on here.

So much for the 50 seater being dead....now the 37 seaters are coming back. Go figure.

Any idea what routes they will be on? Will they be replacing our Saabs on our non-EAS routes? (ie. UNV, ABE, BGM, HPN, CHO, CRW)

Word is that they will be used in ORD for routes like ATW, GRB, LAN, SBN, etc. to provide some relief for -145s to be used on the west coast. My personal speculation is they will replace the Saabs or Brasilias in the west.

There's lots of rumors floating around. Truth is...nobody knows yet what they will be used for.

How is that even possible? With fuel so high I doubt they would make any money.

Yep, rumors everywhere. To include that it's just a stop gap measure of sorts. Some of the 145's are coming up on heavy checks and simply cannot get through the process fast enough, so the 135's are to help with that.

And YES, I KNOW they ONLY seat 37, just sayin'.......

Again, rumors.

If they seat 37 and the Saab is at 34 how much more fuel would be burned using the 135 compared to the 340?

Well, UAL is paying for the leases as they sit in the desert anyways. That may change the equation a bit.
