We might see some of the Compass and Republic planes come to Envoy to replace 140/145's, but won't see any of the options unless something drastic occurs.
True, but the Alaska/Virgin merger will inflate codeshare ability and this area has some potential for serious exploitation. I have some uneasy concerns about this situation and so should anyone already at AA or planning on coming here and being junior in the future.
Just a thought.........
