I believe probably since the sli is not done, maybe they still have West, East and AA hubs separated.

MIA, ORD, NYC (LGA/JFK), DFW, LAX. AA pilot contract, unless they changed it last time, says that regionals cannot fly Hub to Hub.

That's the main reason Envoy stopped flying between CLT-ORD, CLT-MIA and I think we also stopped flying into PLH from ORD.

I guess that eventually AA will cover those routes.

Yea it's probably a gradual process. I noticed we'll still be doing PHL-DCA but I imagine AA will eventually take that over as well.

I believe Regionals can fly Hub to Hub it's just a certain % of flights. I think I remember this being brought up in crew news with a Q&A.

Yea but that was pre merger. I think he's saying now that we're dealing with AA we will no longer be doing hub to hub. Good, more flying back to mainline.

That doesn't necessarily mean more mainline flying. It just means no more starting or finishing trips with those DCA-PHL or PHL-DCA flights.

Why doesn't AA taking routes back mean more mainline flying?

It's more of a shift of flying. If ZW's block hours remain flat then it's not a reduction of regional lift coinciding with an increase in mainline lift. The company would simply have to find different ways to start and end trips without being able to fly DCA-PHL or PHL-DCA.

Company provided Thanksgiving meals in the bases. I am totally taking advantage of my 30 min turns in DCA and LGA for this opportunity

You're really going to complain that the company provides meals on the holiday?

If you were a 727 S/O, thirty minutes would be plenty of time to eat a Thanksgiving meal in DCA, and another one in LGA. In fact, it was reported that one S/O was written up for consuming an entire meal between the outer and middle markers.
