Alaska only operates 130 planes now, Alaska isn't going to grow by 100 planes. Are you saying in 2020 Alaska is going to be 30 737s and 100 ERJs?

No, clearly that is not what I said. But who says all of the MRJs are slated to do flying for ALA? Point is, they can. That is all I'm saying.

Skywest is monopolizing the supply chain of new 175s for a reason. It will be very hard in the future for competitors to get any 175s unless skywest wants or has to give up some of their options.

WRONG! Republic owns the 175 market. And has for much longer of a time. BB at the drop of a hat could get more 175s than SKW any day.

You serious? Bedford could get any 175's anytime he wants.

But if he can't get pilots what good will it do him?

This argument seems to be right up there with "my dad can beat up your dad". I'm sure that SKYW and RAH will both have a future in the E-Jet business.

By 2020, I think between DAL, UAL, AMR, and possibly Alaska and others, there will be plenty of scope concessions to allow at least 400 large RJs. Probably more. In fact, I think this is good news for ExpressJet, too, because I can't imagine every one of these airframes will be placed at SkyWest Airlines.

Actually folks its 100 firm, 100 options again for the new E175-E2. Total order of up to 200 aircraft. So in summary, in last two months: 40 E175 firm, 60 E175 conditional to new RFP, 100 E175 options, 100 E175-E2 firm, 100 E175-E2 options. Thats 140 firm, 60 conditional, 200 options. Up to 400 total Ejets. Include the MRJ90 of last year, thats up to 600 total new aircraft.

I suppose that this massive EJet order from SkyW shows what they think scope will look like for the next bunch of years. SkyWest is a thoughtful company and I'm sure they thought long and hard about where scope is going to go.

The days of the CRJ are coming to an end and the EJets everywhere are coming. Wow
