They're in a 65 seat configuration. I think there was an opspec, revision (not real sure, not infront of my ipad) explaining how many tails there were going through it until we have all the 700s on line.

Maybe a DFW 175 base shows up, but I wouldn't be surprised if the initial cadre of 175s go to ORD. Even before covid happened, AA was planning sort of a reduction in LAX by virtue of the Alaska codeshare, and now with Jetblue. A few of our and former compass routes are reappearing in the bids as of the last few months, but LAX crews are mostly just sharing some of our PHX trips. ORD already has the pilot base in place, so that's why my wild a$$ guess is ORD initially, then maybe DFW. As much as I would like it to come to PHX to lure some senior folk away, I know in reality all it would do is take all our best overnights *and* just transfer in already-typed ERJ pilots and wouldn't be a net gain in my selfish point of view haha.

I want to say 4 sounds right, like the other poster said. My hunch is they would be the unmarked 900s that came off DL flying last year and were doing charters. 896SK and the others. Last night I saw one parked at B1, and when we got back from our standup I saw it taxi out. I think for a SBA, then LGB, then SLC. It looks like this, for anyone curious. Like they just painted over the Widget and the Delta name.

I would venture a guess and say yes these are temps. If these were going under contract I would think they would have ran these through paint, etc. These tails came off doing charters pretty quick and put into AA service right away. Sounds like there were some gaps that needed filled quickly for whatever reason.

What’s the longest flight everyone has done here? I just finished a MSN-SBA and it was probably the longest flight I’ve done here at SkyWest. I’m sure the people bringing the planes up from Brazil get some long legs too.
