The CRJs are the least of anyone's worries. They are staying for the time being. But long term Envoy's future is primarily E175s with a small amount of E145s. In our contract we have 40 E175s guaranteed plus options for 90 more. With our increased staffing levels and 50 new hires a month we are working towards seeing the 90 options start arriving late next year.
But hey...don't listen to us. Mesa is always hiring.
how do you explain the APA/AA scope limits which we are almost at, maybe 10 options exercise but you are not going to see 90 for a loooooong time. The only other avenue for growth on the e175 is aa canceling or not renewing compass cpa which would free up 19 aircraft for envoy or some other. it is all nothing but a shell game. here today gone tomorrow. just an opinion
