It will be interesting to see where the aircraft actually end up.

Any truth to a rumor regarding OO slowly spoiling up the school house over ERJ's?

Haha, OK, I play along for a minute: Why on earth would they do that?

Don't forget, UAL holds the leases on 100% of the XJT EMBs.

We could tell ya, but then you'd have to come drink our Kool Aid

With a ceremony similar to that of "Revenge of the Nerds" ending.

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Chautauqua doesn't even operate the E170.

SkyWeeeeeest

, GoJet and XJT do not operate the E-170 either, maybe they will just end up at Shuttle, an E-170 operator.

But I'll agree that Chatauqua E145's/140's will slowly come off line, that certificate will slowly be wound down over the next few years and that's where some of the pilots to operate these planes will come from.
