maybe. You are prob right that we will lose some. not sure where you got 60-80. My rough calculations...a reduction of 150. Remember Comair has already lost a lot of planes and slated to lose maybe 40 more. Pnl being in bk will surely play a role in this. They operate 140 ish. Seems Delta would have more control over parking more of those than just snatching them out from under skyw. But who knows? I am just guessing and trying to be optimistic. All of this is certainly above my education level.
But I did hear someone say Delta announced No 50 seaters in ATL. Anyone else heard that?
Anyone have a break down 50s already reduced and from where?
Well, in reality they willcome from everybody - but ASA, Skywest and Pinnacle are the biggest operators. Comair has very few left, RAH has a couple erj's. Pinnacle will clearly have the cheapest 200 operation after bankruptcy - and Delta is controlling the show over there now. They also have the newest 200's and will probably renegotiate leases as part of reorganization. That leaves us and Skywest. Which side do you think they will shrink first? There ya go. While everyone will lose 50's, I think the bulk will come from ASA when the leases expire.
You could make a case Pinnacle would lose some first, because Delta can easier shed them, but don't think our time won't come.
Whoever agrees to swap 200's for 76 seaters will get them. They can always redo the lease agreemsnts. PNCL has the newer ones. That is good for them. How many 200 does expressjet have? I can see a swap for them and skywest. With financing coming from skywest.
Just a rumor.
From what I remember skywest has 150 total crj 200's. Those are split between united and delta with united having the bulk. I remember reading somewhere that 60 of the crjs were part of the delta side.
Expressjet has 110 crjs all on the delta side
Comair will have 16
Pinnacle has 125
so...
60+110+16+125=311
Delta said they want to only have 125 when everything is all said and done. So that means they will need to shed about 186 50 seat jets between 4 airlines.
If you took 50% from all 3 airlines and parking the rest of comairs 200s
What 50% from each airline looks like;
30 from skywest
55 from asa
all 16 from comair
63 from Pinnacle
that would equal 164 planes still leaving 22 planes that would need to get parked.
I Honestly don't know how they plan on doing it. I tend to think Delta pushing pinnacle into chapter 11 was part of this big plan they have.
