I doubt they will actually park those 15 planes. The capacity will be around, they just may not be flown by SkyWest. I would say that it is very probable that capacity will be flown by a lower bidder than SkyWest such as GoJet or Mesa. I'm not sure if those planes are leased by United or SkyWest, so that could make things more complicated. Or maybe United will want to trade those planes in for CRJ-900's or an E-Jet product. Either way, I seriously doubt United will leave large RJ capacity on the table.

SkyWest owns or leases all of their CRJ 700s for United. But a lot of them do come off contract this year. No one seems to have an idea if they will be renewed or not.

Also its not really who is the lowest bidder these days, its about performance and who can actually deliver on performance and can staff.

It's a legit concern. The Envoy MEC is asking a Federal Committee to revoke the MAG application to fly some USA to Mexico routes, that Envoy currently flys.
Envoy's position is that they have been flying those routes, and have been "trained" and are therefore better qualified to do those routes.
They are really just trying to keep the AA flying to themselves.

Yes, to both. He's done with the MEC, and yes, He's an instructor/Check Airman on the CRJ side.

Whoof.....

Let's see how many senior guys actually change wings

That's pretty bad

I'm indifferent about the logo but those wings are just awful. I actually like the current wings.
