True, there are about 30 something that wouldn't be able to update without an expensive upgrade. Those will be the first to be phased out so we can update the whole fleet. None of the aircraft will be updated until the whole fleet can be updated with the same Epic load.

It’s about $200k a pop for ~44 airplanes that need processor updates.
In the grand scheme of airplane money, that’s not a ton, so I imagine they’ll weigh where all of those airplanes sit in terms of life expectancy and heavy phase maintenance before they decide to replace them or update them.

SkyWest has started to receive 27.2 but the fleet is by no means fully converted. They operated 27.1 for the last several years and were indeed the guinea pig. Many problems we won't get into. I sat in with Honeywell, KLM, SkyWest, Embraer, and more recently Horizon. Any anomalies were addressed and sought to be solved. Most were fixed with the new version of the 27 load. But some issues are deeply embedded in Honeywell logic that cannot be fixed to this day (aka the IRONMAN arrival).

Want to clarify: It's a letter of intent for 100 with and additional 100. Order for the first 100 should be firmed up by the end of the year and deliveries starting Q2 2019.
On that note 40 of the 100 will be used to replace the older a/c and the 60 with be new hulls.
