Why would that be?
Aircraft is owned by AerCap and looks like a lease return; probably end up at GYR?
Jump to postWouldn't read into that; the airline has long provided training and maintenance to other companies. Probably just investing in making that a more profitable part of the business. There's not a huge amount of airlines wanting ERJ or Q400 training.

Given the speed difference between an E Jet and a Dash what will be the impact on timings. Will some routes need to be dropped.

Jump to postOn the FAA register, on 04 September 2018, SkyWest Embraer ERJ-175LL N262SY and N265SY operating for Delta Connection, were both changed to ERJ-175LR type. Which would imply that Delta/SkyWest added another 6 seats to these aircraft.
Can anyone confirm this was the case?
The fuselage section at the front has also split, so the aircraft is in three pieces with the right hand wing also collapsing along with the undercarriage

Jump to postI understand it’s possible. But why would an airline take a plane out of service to do that for no return on investment.
