Skywest Inc orders 100 MRJs for 2017
FARNBOROUGH: SkyWest Airlines commits to 100 MRJs
By: MAVIS TOH SINGAPORE 31 minutes ago Mitsubishi Aircraft and SkyWest Airlines Inc have reached an agreement in principle for 100 of the airframer's Mitsubishi Regional Jets. The agreement for the Pratt & Whitney PW1200G-powered MRJ90s is likely to be firmed "in the coming weeks". They will be operated by SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet. Deliveries will start in 2017, running through to 2020. All the latest news, images and video from the 2012 Farnborough air show |
I thought this was a joke when I first saw this thread. But it's on Bloomberg now. Didn't see that one coming.

I wonder which parent company these will be operating under, and if Delta's scope clause will even allow it?

I guess we'll see how that goes. |

So, it's like super-duper official now. There's a memo up on the company website. But it says they plan to operate them at both SkyWest Airlines and Expressjet, under contract with major partners, subject to scope limitations.
I guess we'll see how that goes. So does this mean that the MRJ will be the 50-seat replacement, rather than the CRJ900? |

I wonder if there's any chance SkyWest and ExpressJet would just merge into one huge regional airline...seems like that would make sense for management.
