No limit on planes that seat 50 pax or less, hence C550 was born @:-)
That I understand but the totals don't add up. 18 in service + 6 in mod + 20 Mesa + 8 GoJet = 52. This is less than "at least 54". I was wondering if they were pulling C700s from other operators, SkyWest, the desert, etc.
Additionally, the highest current GoJet tail number is N551GJ and the lowest is N501GJ. This indicates at least 51 GoJet C550s in time, unless UA would be using the GJ numbers for Mesa etc.
I'm personally hoping they scrape up a lot of C700s from all over to dump the CR2 entirely.
