I've heard several rumors about you guys getting additional 175 options, and I know that despite the new TA, things aren't looking great for RAH. PSA doing all the DCA ops and now you guys doing a lot of that RAH flying permanently. Perhaps a MIA satellite base is on the horizon?

Anyway, over the next few years you will see more and more flying coming to the wholly-owneds. Not a bad place to hang your hat for a while.

Do you know if that 1500 figure takes PBS into account? I've heard AA's hiring projections will go down with the introduction of PBS.
The -145s were transferred to XJT and TSA because with the amount of attrition going on at ENY as well as forecast attrition (50+ a month), we would have been unable to staff those airframes come April 2015. They were on short term deals to begin with along with escape clauses. Personally, I think it was AAG trying to send us a message for telling them NO so many times.

RAH has to renegotiate their contracts with their mainline partners in order to support their new pilot contract. What happens wih that remains to seen. But, with WOs capped at 4/12 and Mesa providing a lot of eagle flying for cheap, I'd be very surprised to see dougweiser shell out more cash. Who knows, though. Maybe he'll have to this time around!
