this growth that everyone is giddy over was actually envoys loss and someone else's gain a few months ago. nothing is permanent with aag except a sc re w job. i would not make to much out of 5 airplanes, PDT is still getting 20 e145's and the crj's are still leaving for PSA.
Oh, envoy WILL be losing the ASE flying IF what is talked about SkyWest bringing 7 crj700's from united feed over to AA feed out of lax is true. All ase flying will go to SKW and all the envoy crj's to PSA starting by end of 2016.
Lets see, 48 CRJ's go away (actually 11 have already left for psa) envoy gets 5 e145 derivatives. yeap thats growth.
