Yeah - and all of them a left pocket / right pocket. Gloating over the ASA birds and the 30 DL 175SC which were really traded for the 30 ASA 700 is a little misplaced here. The only "real" industry growth are the AS birds.

And yes, it is nice to see "growth" here but be careful how this is being perceived.

As for 900 lite - that was a very convenient rumor at the time of the TA. My guess is that we will not see any factory new airplanes coming to SKYW any more. More 175? Probably but I wouldn't count on CRJ.

You do realize that this is all driven by scope? 175SC or 900 lite are nothing else as 700 replacements, i.e. 70 seats.

And guess what plane pax like better? Hence no 900 lite.

Folks who are interested in domicile stability and log term growth.

Factory New RJ = 12-15 year CBA / lease
900 hand-me-down from Mesa/GoJet = 2-3 year end of useful life extension
200 hand-me-down from ASA = 2 year EAS flying to Nowhere, NE

I thought we were the only ones to do credit-or-better, but from what I'm reading in the Endeavor thread they also do a historical look back.

How does is work for y’all? From what I’ve read the past few pages here, you can get paid less than what you fly, ie lose out on money.

They take the average block from the previous season for that leg. It usually ends up being about 5-10 minutes under scheduled block. It adds up quickly.

If you fly over the credit you get paid actual block.
