Skywest v2.0
I'd imagine you guys would get the remaining 30 of Expresssjet's 700s. Skywest owns those birds. Or I guess 8 of those are going to the american operation. So remaining 22 going to Skywest I guess. I cant imagine ASA still being around with only supporting a little bit of American flying though.
Internal memos suggest the 22 700s are staying and operating for UAX. That would be a total of 42 700s.

The widely accepted rumor from insiders was that our new 900s were coming straight from Bombardier, not used from XJT.
Sounds like that plan is still a go.
Was also mentioned to me that the ATL announcement was supposed to be last week. Not sure if the news today is at all related.

Correct. Those birds will most likely be flying for UA under the Expressjet brand next year as they come off the Delta CPA depending on XJT staffing levels.

The brand new 900s could be for AA. Some PSA 700s have more than 65 seats, eventually they will get dropped down to 65 seats and no longer be considered "large RJ's" which will create room for more 76 seat 900's for AA.
That will probably create room for 15 900's, plus if Delta is only sending 3 700s to Endeavor, and the rest are leaving DCI then that's another 27-28.

If PSA is to be the CRJ regional for AA, why are they so aggressively expanding Eagle flying with skyw and xj?
