Definitely believe management.
"Envoy Air president and CEO Pedro Fábregas issued a message to airline employees that started by praising the carrier’s April performance, then moved into soothing words about the airline’s future.
Among the reassurances was that the carrier’s 47 Bombardier CRJ-700s, Envoy’s only airplanes with more than 50 seats, are going to be staying put for a while.
“Going forward, I hope everyone appreciates that both of our company’s major business units – our flying business and our ground business – remain vitally important to us. Our flying business remains one of the largest regional air service providers in the country that flies for the largest airline in the world,” Fábregas wrote in an internal message to employees.
“As American has previously stated, 25 of our Embraer 140 aircraft will be retired by the end of 2014 and
Envoy will continue to fly approximately 200 aircraft for the foreseeable future – including our 47 larger Bombardier CRJ-700 aircraft,” he said."
