American bought these planes. American owns American Eagle (Envoy). Agreements to own and fly these airplanes must already be in place between the two companies otherwise purchase agreements probably wouldn't be signed. Big companies don't sign billion dollar deals without knowing the details.

Could American decide to give them to someone else? Sure they could, but they're not going to do that otherwise this vote would not be coming back around for round 2. Someone has been paid. I'm afraid the AE council must be pretty weak or succumbed to something sinister. What's in it for the council to change their minds?

Those airplanes have delivery dates and those manufacturers are going to want to get paid whether anyone is flying them or not. There is an urgency here and that is why you are seeing round 2 of this.

Don't PSA out now.
