There is no way TSA signed a deal to fly the full fleet for essentially 1 year only to have them returned unless they have a replacement plan for them in action already negotiated.
They'd lose money in the costs to train everyone as well as open a new base. All the training required for current crew members for the new FMS, etc
That sort of contract would not make financial sense unless AAG is paying them a ton of money to fly it. It would be very out of character for this company to do that.
Isn't it public that the AA Birds at Compass are on until 2020, or is that Delta?
I've heard 4-5 years here. So unless you have some actual proof, not union rumors, that's all this is...a rumor. A factless one at that.
Management...
"
Fleet Plan – While Management could not release a specific fleet plan, they did explain some positive changes to our future fleet. The transfer of the 20 EMB-145’s to Piedmont is now scheduled to begin in January at 1 aircraft per month. As previously announced, the transfer of our remaining CRJ-700’s has been delayed until the last half of 2016 at a much slower rate than originally advertised.
Chris Pappaioanou stated that the EMB-145’s that were transferred to Trans-States could come back to Envoy as early as late next year as the contract per aircraft expires when each aircraft is scheduled for its next C-Check. There are similar provisions for the EMB-145’s transferred to ExpressJet. Mr. Pappaioanou also indicated it’s possible for Envoy to once again operate those aircraft depending on our cost and performance."
