It's not "aimed" at anyone.

I'm simply stating my opinions regarding some at Envoy who think any announcement of a MIA E-175 base will automatically provide substantial benefit to either the present pilots or to altering Envoy's present path. Again, IF it does happen (and that's a big if), it depends on who Envoy management targets for the benefit. Either new-hires or present pilots, either currently qualified or maybe not, but not likely both. If a new domicile is opened in MIA, it's likely Envoy management wants it for their interests, whereas AAG might find it to the overall advantage of the operation to place those A/C at ORD.

It would be more expensive to put them at MIA as the domicile start-up costs have to be included with local management staffing, adequate facilities and of course potential training costs to allow present pilots to bid a "new status". It might be better to place them at ORD, which would get another 100 new-hires and open a satellite domicile in MIA with smaller E-145's to benefit a handful of present Envoy pilots which I hear ALPA has all but agreed to even though many pilots are against it.

Again, even with both, it's but a temporary hiccup distracting from the primary terminal illness and it isn't even a hiccup yet.
