Skywest Awarded 34 New 700/900s

I wasn't at all surprised to see 14 pages about GoJetssssss getting new flying, but nobody has mentioned this yet. Looks like Skywest is getting 5 new 700s and 29 new 900s. They are parking 66 200s over 3 years to make it happen.

Interesting about the 29 -900s. OH had 13, so the remaining 16 would be from Pinnacle obviously. How many did Pinnacle have in ATL? Wasn't it only 10?

It said the 50's were being removed from Delta service and from the article they might not all be parked.

I thought PNCL had 16 CRJ-900's. This doesn't sound good for them.

16 of them, of which they rejected the leases in BK.

In particular, of those 34 planes, 9 are going to expressjet all arriving in sept and oct of this year.

Pinnacle has known for a while now that the 16 ATL 900s were going away. Those were all the Pre Merger Pinnacle 900s. Mesaba's premerger 900s remain in service.
