And YX placed an order for E145s to not only replace the DO328s and 1900s, but pave the way for the E170+ family. That never happened.

I'll believe the C-Series plan is serious when the first revenue flight pushes back from the gate in F9 (or even Republic) colors.

Knope what does this do to your prediction of what FL/WN out of MKE will be like? Expand in a predatory, virtually sure kill manner ensuring a MKE future or still downsize?

or for that matter what about DEN?

F9 got into bankruptcy because of cashflow. 100% credit card holdback and dwindling unrestricted cash.

Right now F9/YX via RJET is at 95% holdback and dwindling reserves facing high fuel prices and a huge mountain of debt.

As a brand in hindsight they might have been better with F9 alone. They had the cash to do it but trying to merge F9 and YX probably was overreaching.

But in a self fullfilling light grabbing YX was a deal to put RJET planes to work for a win-win. And now that attempt risks all.

Best chance for RJET survival is another airline that runs similar Airbus metal buys not F9 but Airbus metal and gates. And since the players are limited it's a buyers market. Something which RJET can't refuse to look at.

Not likely since the codeshare would suffer the same holdback F9 has. Afraid they may be too far down the drain for any sort of hope unless someone finds a way to drop Jet A to $3 or less.
