I doubt you'll see the reduction in 50 seaters come from PSA...more likely Air Wis and since they already said so, Envoy.
What do we think is gonna happen at our meeting with AAG next week?
Take into account envoy has some 44 seaters left, that's what they want to return and a small amount of our oldest 145s I think 22 of those. Then the other 145s are on the books till 2022. Envoy operates the cheapest of all the 50 seaters as the leases were reduced in half during bankruptcy. Somewhere in the bankruptcy documents the company was quoted as saying we were the cheapest operators on the planet of the 145 when it came to lease costs.
