168 "Large" Regional Aircraft left for RFP

No...ExpressJet will just shrink..

With the deal to buy ExpressJet they get first dibs on swapping for larger A/C.

They get first dibs, and they get to name their own price, and United just has to bend over and take it? I find that highly unlikely.

Im sure SkyWest inc. and United will come up with a new deal... That benefits them both.. Just like we did with Delta. We didn't have to get rid of the 200's... But we did.. (And used them for AA i might add). But don't "bank" on the XJT swap out deal as previously written...

If its a new RFP, then no. Also, doesn't sound like a swap. Sounds like growth.

UAL can only add about 60ish large RJs to UAX until they establish a Small narrowbody/DAL 717 type fleet at mainline. After that they can add up to 325 total large RJs in exchange for a ton of 50 seaters.

Might all be different not that they are UAL.

Sorry sport, hate to break it to you but this is the direction regional contracts were and are going.

Oh yeah, remember that scumbag deal Skywest pulled with CAL to try to buy XJt a year earlier? The one that drastically lowered our profitability or risk buyout from SKYWEST? It's the same CPA they bought into now.

This company is so poorly run it's not even funny....Maybe running a non- union outfit that flies out West is their speed. Dealing with a group with a contract and flies with huge weather and operational hurdles (in the form of mainline imposed EDCTs and major delays) is clearly not.
