Comair and GECAS

[RCA]

During October Comair will take delivery of CRJ 40/50 "GECAS" aircraft, leased to Delta Air Lines from General Electric Commercial Aviation Services. These aircraft are part of the ongoing bankruptcy fleet realignment process and do not represent additions to Comair's fleet. The attached letter from the Chief Pilots provides a full explanation.


Its truely amazing how everthing is bad news these days.

Huh? What are trying to tell us? 40-50 CRJ's...or a 50 seater? or 40 CRJ200's?

If these are not additions, what are they replacing?

40-seat or 50-seat versions I believe.

These are replacing other aircraft that are going back to lessors. Sounds like they are replacing expensive-lease aircraft with cheaper-lease aircraft from a different source. At Comair, 40/50 refers to the 50-seat CRJ. I believe we are getting three of these aircraft from GECAS.
