900 lite rumor has to do more with AA scope I think.

AA scope is a little different.
The categories are 50-65 seat jet, and then 66-76 seat jet. The 900lites doesn't make sense there. A 700 at 65 seats would make sense and Envoy and PSA have 700s configured at 63 and 65 seats.

In Delta scope, there are still 15 70-seat jets up for grabs. That's where the 900 lites could come in.

Right on. Following the EV / 9E shuffle, there are another 15 RJs in the 70 seater catgeory up for grabs with DL.

The other one to watch will be G7. I believe their DL contract is up soon and they claim 22 700's and 7 900's in their DL fleet.

That makes for a total of 44 additional airframes that I am sure are being shopped around between OO, E9 and YX. depending on the certificate they will be 900 lights or 175CS.

I heard the Bros are coming back to cover EAS flying for PenAir. Service to KCEC and KLMT starts Jan 1.

Heard it from a friend's cousin's sister's nephew who babysits a retired ramper's grandkid.

Lol.

But in all seriousness, SkyWest did not put in a bid for KCEC. Only Great Lakes and Boutique did.

SkyWest did put in bids for Decatur, IL; North Platte, NE; Kearney, NE; Liberal, KS; and Scottsbluff, NE.

I'm pretty sure the -200 won't fit into KCEC.

Remember the crew car we had parked there?

Hehe that was before my time. Looks like KCEC only has two 5000' runways.

You haven't lived till you've stayed at the Anchor Beach Inn. Hasn't been updated since 1975. Borders on a really rough trailer park which seems to be a halfway house for guys just out of Pelican Bay State prison just up the road...
