I got the numbers mixed up, 3700 a month.. 800 is what contract 200’s are doing right now.. Sorry

Was mainly giving you a hard time, I figured there was a number off somewhere. Either that or the prorate department was off their rocker. 3700 a month / ~123 a day across 25 total hulls doesn’t sound unreasonable at all to keep around as another means of income.
As a 9E guy my curiosity is whether those will be spread thin across SLC MSP DTW, or remain solely east or west.

undedv UNDEDV might be the most UND of the UND names. We have some UND grads who couldn’t get picked up by EDV when we paid bottom tier wages, come pick them up, you’ll like them.

“SkyWest also secured agreements to acquire 21 used CRJ700s in a 50-seat configuration and lease the aircraft under a multi-year term to another regional airline operating for United Airlines. The aircraft purchases and leases are expected to be completed in Q4 2020.”

Which United regional is going to be flying these 21 airplanes?

It's odd since OO just took back planes from G7 due to payment problems...

My guess, and it’s just a guess, is that G7/TSH is having real big money issues. They had to return some airplanes and cancel the rest of the deliveries, and TSH shut down two airlines. They can sell the planes that they have on property for cash and lease them and try to keep the company afloat a little while longer. Meanwhile Inc. is taking on the risk because if G7 goes belly up, then Inc is in a position to takeover that flying or lease those planes to another 3rd party.
