It's new. We had no idea/confirmation of AA's hiring plans for next year let alone for the next two years. We also hadn't heard anything regarding upgrade plans for next year, E175 plans, and a revision to the 2.5/5.5 for new hires.
Also new which I forgot to mention: The 145s that were transferred to TSA and Xjet will be coming back as they go in for their heavy checks.
And the flying we are currently covering for Republic will also be transferred to Envoy on a permanent basis.
