Really, how many would be allowed per current scope clauses? I'll give you a hint, it's 0. Come on, it's basic math. Maybe you can also talk about the MRJ. Oops, still ZERO. What's left is the seconds you can get from other carriers.

I mean, at some point all 3 regionals will work out something for the next gen jets re: scope/weight/seats, and Compass will get 170E2s or MRJ or whatever. Not owning any airplanes can be an asset... you aren't stuck with a bunch of 200's.

Places like SkyWest can rebrand their planes...a CRJ 700 that stops flying for United can get repainted to fly as AA etc. Same number of planes=same number of pilots required vs less planes=less pilots required.
Who says they are stuck with CRJ200s? They got out of the Brasilia pretty nicely. You'll see them still flying around, just in new paint... hauling boxes even My guess is they already have buyers lined up or a plan to capitalize on those airframes when the time comes.
Although they have a lot of CRJ200s, they have 221 planes that are 70+ seats. Nearly 60% of their fleet is 70+ seats. And they have orders for more large RJs.
Gojo thinks that regionals are scoped out, and let's assume they are (I really hope they are, but if anyone heard what Scott Kirby openly wants, it's more large RJs outsourced). Seconds in this new market may come from regionals closing or consolidating. That's just speculation though at this point.

Remember most of OO's200's are paid off, pulling in a good profit, and can be parked with no penalty..

Compass is a awesome airline. My main worries are...why they lost The MSP flying. Thats there HDQ.?? Why they didnt fight to keep that instead of getting pushed West.. being owned by Hulas, Main worries about SkyWest is lots of 200's. But seems to work for them... and owning XJT how that will effect the future.
