Skywest & Q400's

[7dustfan]

Anyone heard anything about SkyWest eventually getting Q400's to replace the Brazilias on certain routes?

 

[Smoked Toilet]

yes

It is a possibility - Nothing would happen for quite a while though - they need to see how much the new weights will effect the Bro. I have heard it from a few different people within the company.

Not going to happen we have 14 year leases that we have on airplanes that were signed in 98 so plan on the emb around until 2012.

 

[Mr DC3]

Unless Canadair took over the leases as part of a deal. . .

I'm sure most of (if not all) of those 1998 EMb's are on the UAL side in CA. And I don't think the weight thing is the same out of LAX or SEA as in JAC. Most of the emb's in SLC are well paid for, Plus the ones just sitting around.

However, I don't see us getting any new type any time soon.

HMMMM.... guess the boys from Canada made a sale "pitch" stop out west also. The 400 rumor died very fast for ALG/PDT (what 4-shadowing). Anyway I didn't have much faith in our management making a smart choise.

 

[JJJ]

They came by Pinnacle and Eagle as well I think.
