Like I said, that's AAG's ultimate goal in a perfect world. That's many years off. You'll continue to see a handful of 145s going to PDT and a handful of additional 175s coming to Envoy over the years. It'll be a slow process.
Seems to me there would be a considerable cost savings to merge the three AAG regionals even if they were to keep them as three divisions, with each flying a different plane. Even if they put up a fence between them and just began hiring that way, in a few years it would be done.
Just eliminating two CEOs would save enough to make it worthwhile.
