The answer was that they wanna keep most of the flying in DFW and ORD, something about keeping reliability high, blah-blah-blah
Based on this, it would be reasonable to expect then that Envoy will NEVER flow more then 30/month as from a staffing and flying allocation standpoint, Envoy is peaking. AA hires 100/month, 30 from Envoy and that would be the most optimistic scenario going forward.
Excuses are a dime-a-dozen and obviously as anticipated, "the world has changed" again. I'd plan on it to change frequently and probably most often, not for the better.
