We get the next 25 United 175s, and I imagine those will come soon.

On the DL side those 900 Atmosphere replace the 700s, so there will only be 5 in the fleet

The wild card are the 700’s in storage... could they be 550’s soon, could they be leased out to another airline like the 900’s to Air Canada... Time will tell. By the Training scheduled i would say will be flying them soon...

Skywest gets a priority consideration on the next batch of 70+ seat flying OR pay an agreed amount in lue of. United will pay the fee. Skywest will not see anymore aircraft from United.

The exact verbiage is ..

“25 new dual-cabin aircraft with United should those opportunities arise”

Not 70+ seat.... but them you could read i to the word “New”.. what does that meen. Anyway. The press doesn’t have the actual agreement. Something is already agreed to... and im sure its more specific then the press verbiage above...

Would be net neutral at best, without scope relief adding 175SC would require removing 700s 1 for 1. GoJets are already going away ala 550, so to add SC either the Mesa or OO 700s would have to come off.
