AA is reshuffling the flight numbers across the board. There was a memo put out by mainline last month regarding the change.

Huh, yeah, CD is no longer listed. I noticed he hadn't sent out any emails in a while, I wonder what happened.

Those 4xxx numbers need to be given to Envoy, so ATC can start mixing up Envoy and Endeavor properly again.

He's still listed as management on the bidding list.

How long will the E145s last is the real question.

AA is done ordering new airplanes for the next 5ish years, probably more. Wouldn’t be surprised if they pull the plug on us

The E145s are the only 50 seater in the AA system right now (us and Envoy). I'm pretty sure that AA scope limits the more-than-50-seaters a lot more heavily than the 50 seaters, and they're maxed out on large RJ flying, so I don't think that E145s are going away any time soon.

Yup.. not going to fly half full aircraft when they can run Piedmont for pennies.. it's how Piedmont has survived and how it will continue to thrive.

Hang in there.

Maybe Doug is done ordering, but we're still taking delivery of planes that were already ordered. 787s and 321s

AA’s “small RJ” scope bar is set at 65 seats.

the CRJ700’s Skywest and PSA operate are considered small RJ’s.
