All signs seem to indicate more news is on the horizon fleet wise.
All I'm in agreement with, is that you write like a sixth grade girl with ADHD. Good God man! .

But to your point, CPAs are in decline and mainline will recapture some domestic lift. Spending billions on a new fleet only to allow less than 100 additional 76 seaters to attempt minuscule improvements to yield doesn't pass the sniff test.

In other words, complying with scope choke provisions won't guarantee ROI. With all the attention on CAPEX, I don't think SNB idea would get passed the board.

Agree, if there's a financial case to be made for more 76 seaters it's cheaper to bring them to mainline instead of spooling up a whole new fleet.

Sadly, that isn't happening anywhere near the timeline many thought it would.

Management simply moves the aircraft around from more expensive contractors to to cheaper ones, as well as the "carrot dangle" of a quick upgrade, CPP, etc.........

Investor Updates show UAL had 322 ERJ135/145/CRJ200s at the end of 2014. 254 at the end of this year. That's 68 hulls. GONE. Beautiful. Also, 490 total RJs end of 2016 v 566 end of 2014. That's a decrease of 76 RJs net of the 76 seater increase.

It's like McDonalds....I'm loving it.

And I think you're not being fair to sixth grade girls with ADHD; they write better, I'm fairly sure

There's a rumor Mesa might take their 700's out of IAD and place them with another partner. Just rumor, though.

Wait till Trump starts drilling.... oil prices will plummet and management will keep cheap 50 seaters around even longer as their ASM costs plummet and well.

Silly thing to say. Under Obama, fracking already made the USA virtually energy independent. Supply and demand already caused oil to plummet. Record profits and contracts are the result. Enjoy.

Fracking succeeded in spite of Barry.
