United just ordered another 20 175s with options for 19 more. There is a 99.9% chance we are not going to operate these. Our “order” for 100 continues to be a marketing gimmick, as these frames have absolutely nowhere to go.

What about all the rumors of the 170s being reconfigured for 65 seats and flown for AA out of DCA, LGA, and PHL? What ever came of that?

I’ll be shocked if these airplanes actually show up.

Training department has said 30 or so will definitely be for fleet replacement. The majority will be growth. Those airframes were set to be delivered second-half 2020 and that has never changed, which should correlate to something set to happen at that time. No official announcement yet but it’s 95 percent certain DL is saying bye bye to Compass and GoJet once their CPA expires in 2020. Maybe something is going on there? I also wouldn’t be surprised if its for something way out in left field

Met Joe Allman a few weeks ago and he claims this is basically a done deal....but he also claimed that they were in negotiations to buy out a 135 Cert, so who knows what the truth is.
