Envoy, PSA, PDT go away and a contract carrier (or carriers) gets the planes. Doug still gets what he wants. Of course Envoy, PSA, and PDT pilots can all tell the rest of you how proud they are that you "held the line" when they greet you at Home Depot. As for "don't mess with Parker" well I think the recent actions from AAG in regards to Envoy's 700 back up that claim.
