Because there are still benefits (though deminished) of keeping the certificates separate. Envoy seems to still be getting wound down. The 700s are being sent to PSA and the 145s to Piedmont. Maybe Envoy gets more 175s, maybe they don't. Who knows at this point what the plan is. I do know that the non-WOs will slowly have their Eagle branded flying reduced and that flying will shift to the WOs. I think TSA's 145 flying will end up at Piedmont and eventually Republic's 175 flying at Envoy and perhaps some of Mesa's 900s at PSA.
