Maybe a Commutair person can chime in? I had heard they were opening an ORD base for their 145 operation

Every place has short tolerable reserve times.

Go jet, ORD base is almost instant but for how long will they have ORD .

That's the word on the street......early 2017

Envoy Ord is JR. You can ask whatever plane in Ord and they will probably give it to you without hesitation.

One of the best travel benefits out there for regionals.

As everyone else has said, SkyW CRJ.

United is not renewing the contract for the CRJ-700s with Gojet (or anyone else as far as I know). Gojet is shrinking next month in Ord from what I am told. Don't go to Gojet if you want ORD.

If they don't get a new contract to fly the 700s soon they may merge with TSA so they will have enough pilots to fly all of their planes, and they will shut down Gojet. I hear they are talking with a few airlines in Japan or China to sell the plane. Of course that might just be to give them a little more negotiation power with the carriers here (American and Delta). Since they moved the inexperienced CP to VPO it does not seem they are serious about running an airline and will be shut down.

FYI

United at ORD will replace 50 percent of RJ flying with portion of their 65 737-700 (new orders) and 42 used A319s within the next 2.5 years and that's a confirmed plan

Only about 40 Ejets will be flying out of ORD

Once again, LOL at the BEST travel benefits.

Envoy ORD I was assured , choice of crj or erj . Only issue if they removed all of there crjs I am back to square one .
