What do you see for the future in SLC in regards to 200 flying for DL? I thought I heard something about 2023 and the end of the contract.

Mitsubishi just shelved the MRJ Spacejet indefinitely and said they’d be shoring up support and overhaul for the CRJ line.

MHI says it will continue to grow revenue from the CRJ programme by expanding the CRJ maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) business as well as conducting a feasibility study for upgrades to CRJ aircraft models. It also says it plans to have CRJ MRO facilities expand their capabilities to add other aircraft types.

As soon as demand rises, you'll need to replace those airplanes. Highly doubt they'll send 7/9s to middle of nowhere EAS markets like the ones in upper MI.

When Delta says that they don’t count prorate. They never have .. SkyWest will have zero 200’s under contract with Delta Jan 1. But will have 25~ 200’s flying 880~ departures a month with the DL code on the flight...

Oh wow, a whole checks calculator 1.1 departures per airframe a day. Even if it’s more like 20 in service that’s only about 1.5 per hull per day, not exactly a huge manpower or profit center
