Third AAG has been relying heavily on envoy middle management to produce programs that are then rolled out the two other WO's.(EFB program, ADS B, recruiting and the cadet program and several others). Basically our guys do the heavy lifting then present it to AAG and they then turn it over to PDT and PSA to implement. Comair was not leading any other WO's.
As shaky as we have been the other WO's are on shakier ground than us. PDT has had much difficulty with their EMB program and PSA is having serious issues recently with recruiting. From my viewpoint all three are hurting if not in more serious trouble but my opinion doesn't count. AAG's does and it's their business to run as they choose.
None of that matters. First the 175S. It's only 40 airplanes. We are (possibly) giving all 47 of our CRJ700S to PSA. We gave 145S to another WO carrier who didn't even have a jet on property. Oh and those rumors of difficulty at PDT with their 145 program? Greatly exaggerated. Hell we even gave 145s to non WO carriers.
A new training center? If anything that makes it even easier to sell or transfer the assets to another carrier now that it is not in the AA flight academy.
I'm not saying comair will happen. In fact I seriously doubt it. Your argument is just flawed.
