New 175SCs (69 seat config) are for OO as they dump their EV 700s.

Also, if OO has an equity stake in those aircraft, it would be crazy for Delta to not take that deal. It's practically of no cost to them. Don't see why Delta would buy SCs, give them to 9E when OO can wet lease them to Delta. But I will say that this is pure speculation. I have no actual of what I call hearsay on this matter.

Who said anything about OO or EV? Somebody else operates 700’s

But Delta owns those 700s. Wouldn’t make much sense to dump them for a new aircraft type at EDV, when they could come straight over...

Besides, the contract on those 700s was extended for 7 years.
/sarcasm

Those Delta owned CR7s with a CA tail have been ridden hard and put away wet. Keep in mind, we have a substantial number 200s that are newer than most of the CA 700s. While the 200 utilization has really gone down over the past few years, those 700s have been driven like a rented mule.

If it was true that the contract was extended why wouldn’t GoJets be screaming that from every rooftop. They need to look stable to try and attract new hires. This was stated by one person on APC with zero evidence to support it.

Plot thickens?

Looks like it's coming from MSP with a scheduled layover in LAS.

You're telling me...I have to fly around mountains??

🤔🤔🤔🤔

I’d say it’s simply just a network planning issue at Delta. In 2017 at one point, it showed us operating SEA up to Alaska in CR7s...
