They have hired people who ran Embraer programs at other large companies, and my source is talking to an inflight manager this last week most recently, as well as "unofficial" word from other pilots and instructors there. Will it materialize? I don't know. It makes sense though considering JetBlue has a huge presence in the Caribbean with E190s.
What did Shuttle American fly before the E-Jet?
Seaborne, American, and US Airways ticket counters dominating this part of the SJU airport.
Saying there is absolutely a zero chance is kind of a red flag for BS on here especially when it comes to AAG trying to staff airplanes. Seaborne only got the Saabs to do American flying. Seaborne might get some, Piedmont might get some, Republic might even keep all the ones they are supposed to get, or not. AAG management knows, and every has been waiting for EGL to vote no. Makes more sense that this is the outcome AAG wanted.
