Pretty sure PSA has options for more than a few 900s plus the possibility of 700s.
There are more than enough planes to go around. It's all about staffing the planes now. Who ever can hire and train will get the planes. It's just that simple right now.
Per our president today, all Envoy 700's are coming to PSA, and we should start taking them around March 1st. Our hiring is beyond what they have planned for, so we will be on schedule to start deliveries again soon.
SkyWest will likely cover Aspen, like they are doing in Chicago. PSA will be an all CRJ fleet and Envoy will be an all Embraer fleet.
Fleet plan is still intact from AAG that PSA will have 150 airplanes by late 2018. If staffing isn't an issue, it will likely grow to 200 airplanes by 2020.
There are still 10 regionals providing lift for AAG, but that number will decrease by at least 3 or 4 in the next 5 years, and the WO will all grow and take on the additional flying as needed.
