I may be way wrong on this, but I see this as a harbinger of good things to come for Envoy. Why? Here's why.

As AAG assigns 175s to Compass and Republic, and as they shed 145s to TSA, Piedmont, and another regional to be named later, (SKW??),.......they're running out of regionals to fly the remaining 175s.

TSA will barely be able to staff the 145s they're getting, so there's no way they'll be in the running for 175s. And they won't be able to shift guys over from Compass. Air Willy just announced their agreement to take-on a bunch of 200s for Delta, so they're not gonna be in any position to consider the remaining 175s. SkyWest is in a similar boat and PSA obviously has their hands full getting ready for 20(+/-) more 900s and 49 more 700s. Who's left? Lakes? Silver? Commutair?

AAG just strengthened Envoy's hand! They're quickly running out of places to put the rest of the 175s,......plus all of the options. Parker's hand is about played-out.
