I don't see ORD opening for PSA. To me AAG wants to keep Envoy/Mesa in the midwest, PSA/PDT East coast, Compass/Skywest in the west.
Miami is a different story, I think AAG wants and need 175 down in FL. So I expect to envoy (MAYBEEEEEEEEEE, a big maybe) to open a MIA base. If not they will continue to use crews around the sistem.
Envoy used to have a lot of bases, but we were a 3,200 pilot company. Now below 2,000 I dont think that any WO company could have more than 3 bases and be able to focus on all of them.
Also, ORD is a hard commute, doesn't matter where you live. It would be easier in term of legs, but not in terms of getting a seat to work, specially in high season.
