Think of reasons why a relatively expensive airline with poor performance would get a contract.

It might not be all about money.
I agree, ExpressJet has always been far from cheap. There is more to it than money.

Deliveries starting Q2 2021 according to BB’s memo yesterday. Who they’ll fly for remains the big question.

He also mentioned 36 170s coming off contract in the next 3 years. I would not be surprised to see at least the first 36 delivered as 175SCs to replace the older 170s on new/extended CPAs.

But I’d also not be surprised to see the delivery date indefinitely pushed back. The initial announcement of this order stated end of 2020, so it’s already been delayed at least once.

I don’t think it’s a “memo”. It’s his update posted on the front page of the company intranet.

I certainly don't want to start a whole internet fight over this because I couldn't care less. But it is most certainly a memo and the original poster was not wrong to refer to it as such.

mem·o
/ˈmemō/
noun: memo; plural noun: memos
  1. a written message, especially in business.

The removal of the E170s would make the increase in CRJ550 orders make more sense. But I don't know what would be gained from swapping a 170 for a 175SC.

For the love of god, it’s not a Comply memo. But by definition it’s still a memo.

Nothing really. A better product I suppose, since the UA 170 interiors are beat. Plus the potential for more premium revenue from the increase in First Class seats. Not sure what else do we’d do with them?
