Well there you go thanks

Interesting article but full of holes. First, Gojet has taken delivery of other 550s beside this one since July. An EX Horizon 550 has been in the hangar in STL for a while. Second there is no mention of a date for initial service just "technical" flights. Third Gojet is not operating 25 700s for United as they have been parking them since Expressjet put the first 175 into service in June. This article is so full of inaccuracies it is hard to take seriously, except that instead of one 550 sitting in STL now they have two and still does not give a timeline for re certification as a 550 so it can be operated in revenue flights for UAL.

It looks like the "research" for this article includes one visit to a flight tracking website, one visit to the United website, and one snip of the first 550 image available on Google.

I'm not saying stuff isn't happening, but this ain't an article that proves anything.

Are the two 700’s sitting in TUS with the new United livery yours? I don’t have a picture but I was there a couple of days ago and saw them from the terminal.

Yes. There are 12 planes in various stages of being converted to the 550 and usually 2-3 in TUS for stages of the conversion and storage.

There does not seem to be any progress on getting the airplane certified from what I can find. I think the Max problems are really going to slow down the 550 certification.

Any verified progress that anyone can point too? There must be something showing planned certification.

That information doesn't get published. You have to keep communicating with people who work on or near the project to get updates on it's progress.

And when someone who works on or near the project puts it on here or anywhere else, that's called being published.

Here is the closest thing to anything official.

Heard that the CRJ550 is now an FAA certified aircraft? Is this true?
