Well, in all likelihood they expect increased attrition this Summer (probably along with feeble attraction) and since some will be E-175 pilots, I would assume they want to protect that part of the operation and not end up like RAH or others. Envoy can always park E-145's again if staffing trends worsen in that fleet, but the E-175 flying is certainly more critical and I would expect more pilots per A/C on that fleet.
