Good point. Also with the training program in place Gojet will have no problem getting pilots to fly as many 550’s theycan get their hands on as flying increases.

I bet it's really going to come down to who can offer it at the cheapest for the longest tbh

There is the question of paying for it.

Sure. With TSH down to one airline I would imagine management is going to have to be very competitive to keep United Flying. With an apparent abundance of labor available wages are going to be “negotiable “.

I don’t think the investment would be warranted right now.

Yep, I think Chip was on record at the earnings call or maybe shortly after as saying they have no interest in the 550 flying at OO.

they said that a “third party” (Gojet) had asked to pause delivery of 700’s for conversions To 550’s. Do “Extraordinary financial Issues”to pay for the leases...

Well with the 175 training dept about to be in full swing, I doubt CC wants to put any more CAPEX money into fitting our operation for 550 training.
I think the 175 program running is only happening bc it’s a necessity with the need to move CRJ guys over.
