That would mean Alliance having to put the E190 on their AOC. Who would be financing all that? I doubt Alliance would be phasing out their F100 fleet considering their acquisition of more Fokker airframes and spares recently.
If not VARA, and not Alliance operating the E190s, could it be another third party with Ejets already on their AOC operating it for VA?
