As of now (at DL) they have a max number of large RJ's. There is nothing they can do at this point to get more...other than fly them at the mainline. The C-Series or any other SNB is irrelevant. The last link to that was the 88 B717's which are already on property.

Got it. Was referring to UAL where if I understand correctly, the SNB add and subsequent specified RJ add is at the co's discretion.

My best estimate on the final 175 fleet:
Skywest 58
Mesa 45
Republic 50
Total of 153.
with a corresponding decrease in 70 seaters to accommodate the 255 current limit (70+76). No net gain in airframes. Just swaps.

Yes they do. It's in our current contract. They haven't exercised the option.... yet

Thats not entirely true but pretty close (assuming my math is right).

2016 fleet count shows 114 E175's, 38 E170's and 79 CRJ 700's. Thats a total of 231 70/76 seaters.

Lets just assume they will add 39 more E175's to the fleet for a total of 153 E175's. That means 15 70 seaters would need to be parked to be in compliance with the 255 70/76 limit.

You must not have read my post above...UAL just annonced 24 E175s for delivery next year.. That's 255 by my count.



Year end 2016:

CRJ700 79
EMB170 38
E175 114

E175 on order 24

Total 255 (138- 76 seaters)

They have/had to park 13- Q400s and 36- 700s to get here. They can get 17 more 76- seaters if they swap them out for 70- seaters. Don't know if they have any more on order.

[QUOTE=jsled;2245880]You must not have read my post above...UAL just annonced 24 E175s for delivery next year.. That's 255 by my count.

The 24 are previous orders for RAH. The only change is that UAL is purchasing the aircraft and leasing to RAH as opposed to RAH leasing the aircraft to be flown for UAL. Those 24 are already included in my count of 153 E175's that have been ordered/delivered.

You are correct that it would get to 255 70/76 seaters. But with current orders for 175's the count would hit the limit of 153 76 seaters (add 39 more) and 15 70 seaters would need to be removed (still 255 70/76 seaters).

Gloopy

The 717 you reference is Similar to what we have. 88 SNB would get them more RJs. I believe the total number of regional aircraft being flown would be 450.

Like I said our contract in this respect is nearly identical.

<Sigh> We're saying the same thing different ways. With these 24 aircraft..that this thread is about...plus the year end RJ fleet, we're at 255. So ANY additional 76 seaters (after this 24) will require UAL to park a 70 seater one for one. Just like I said. And yes..153-138=15. (To your point). Arrhggg. That was painful.
