Envoy is in a pickle. Vote Yes and shrink, vote no and still shrink but knowing you have a bit of a future with some 175's.
Bottom line is Parker in no way shape or form wants one of his WO'ed regionalsdoing 90% of it's flying. Probably wants all 3 about the same size or 2 regionals the same size depending on Envoy's vote. He isn't going to allow one regional carrier to be as big as Eagle was.
If Piedmont had voted "no" we would've just shrunk to nothing due to everyone leaving as they already were and other contract carriers would've took over the flying we were doing without even blinking. Pretty easy to put some RJ's from other Carriers to fill in for only 36 prop planes. Envoy being way bigger has been more of an issue with Parker.
Envoy can vote "Yes" and that's fine. Or they can try to stick it to Parker and the wallets of AAG by voting "No". Either way he's going to get what he wants it's just a matter of how much money he is going to have to spend to get it.
Besides a few of you that were bashing Piedmont over our TA I wish the rest of you luck in your choice. You've fought the fight do you continue or do you just throw your hands up and move on?
