And there are guys out there who think scope doesn't matter, because we'll never see 50 seat RJ's again.

While I’m not pleased that more RJ’s are hitting the market, I am kind of selfishly po’d my shop didn’t get them.

Not one more seat, pound, jet, or job.

Told you a while back - whatever the reason might be, your shop has this red-headed step child aura with the mainline.

So will this mean more planes / flying for GoJet, or just a replacement of old planes at GoJet?

And I read that 50 were ordered. 25 for GoJet. Who is getting the others?

Same old planes getting reconfigured.
All 50 for GoJet. 25 this year, 25 next year. Which can be either a substantial growth, or 3 airplane growth if the Delta flying is going away.

As I understand it, they were losing 25 700’s for XJT’s new 175’s, and the announcement said they were using 25 existing frames, so my guess is it will not be a net gain or loss of frames for GoJet.
