NO WAY!? I heard we were going to buy Lufthansa. We're going to be Lufthansa America express, 747 service to Liberal, Dodge City, Hays, Kearney, North Platte, Scottsbluff, then Denver....Load factor: 18%!

They get their own handed down by big jerry if united doesn't play ball.

FWIW, due to the sequester, the FAA has indicated that there will be no new type certifications from now through the end of 2014. So, the airplanes will have to go to an airline that currently has a E170 on their certificate. SKW got around this by applying for the new type before the sequester began.

Food for thought.

Current E170 operators:
1) California Pacific
2) Compass
3) Republic
4) Skywest

ExpressJet have been adding the E175 to their certificate for a few months now too. Management have made mention of it in several of their communications to the staff.
