Good luck with that assumption, but also don't forget that the economic advantages of even 76-seaters at some point would be eliminated if pilot compensation were raised too much, so a catch-22 is in action making it difficult to offer too much, or at least enough to truly blunt outside attrition. They are in a real pickle now and a year from now, it will be a downright crisis.
I'm in agreement that Envoy will only park so many planes. At some point, the crisis arrives. Too many planes for not enough pilots
