I love that they have to clarify that if a major calls you shouldn't stick it out at a regional to wait and see what happens

Most new long haul routes have been announced from the east coast or DFW. West coast seems stagnant on the profitable long haul connections, so no need to increase regional feed there.

Also, I believe AA sees that the potential new flying for Compass might be a conflict of interest. So I think they are making contingency plans already.
After the Mesa deal, there is no regional flying left for grabs (unless Alaska pulls a rabbit out of the hat), and you can't be initial cadre for anything and keep flying for AA. That would be a huge mess. And operating 200NN to 219NN isn't a viable business plan.

All of this is obviously 100% speculation. It's worth what you paid for it :)

AA is scoped out on large RJ’s. With the Max down and their E190’s going, and Envoy taking 35 more E175 deliveries they are scoped our.
Mesa will be reconfiguring CRJ900’s to 65 seats.

You are counting the CPZ planes in the 35, right?

The Compass airplanes aren’t going to Envoy yet. See my Mayan calendar photo from before. That’s supposed to happen in 2015.

He said 35 deliveries. The only way that math works is if he counted the 20 CPZ planes.
