Doesn't Acey still have a base there?
DFW seems out of the blue.
Unless. Don't say it. American 175s. I said it.
DFW is out of the blue but if you had told me ORD would be a huge AA base, I would have thought you were crazy.
We picked up just 2 cities from DFW for June, PIB/MEI and TYS on the -700. PIB/MEI is an EAS contract that we're taking over from Envoy. I'm not sure why we're doing TYS because we have a midnight departure some days to get in at 3 AM?? And of course we've been doing the ASE flight for some time as well.
Expressjet is closing their DFW base (again). I think they are closing it entirely for the CRJ and the 145 in which they have a decent amount of AA flying there. Does anyone know for sure?
In September, 12 CRJ-200's are coming off contract in ORD for AA. Apparently they are being repurposed though. I'm not sure if that means to a new partner or to stay in AA colors and move bases.
All the above make me go hmm about DFW. I don't think it'll open any time soon if it does, but I wouldn't be surprised if we picked up a few more cities for AA out of DFW and just have us flow through it for a while.
