Apparently, the same source confirmed the 205 upgrades for 2016. The 750-800 upgrades for 2017 and the first half of 2018 will definately be something to watch, ESPECIALLY since Envoy would have to hire an equivalent number of new-hires over the same period or train 1500-1600 pilots (plus some transitions to different fleet types) to maintain present size.
Sorry, fuzzy math like that doesn't pass the sniff test. There's a rotten smell about all this, I'm afraid.
