AAG wanted to excercise all of the options, but at a discount from EMB. Emb has held strong to their pricing since they know of the large demand for their aircraft. AAG is now talking to Bombardier! Maybe trying to bluff EMB, or simply because Bombardier is willing to give away their aircraft due to the poor demand? Wouldn't be surprising to see more 900s operating for AAG in the near future. The envoy crj training department is in the process of hiring more ground/sim/checkairman and was just approved for the qualified upgrade program. Seems fishy for a fleet that is shrinking.
