Possibly spreading the “end of the contract” between sometime in 2018 and 2020?
As far as Envoy getting more options instead of the Compass planes, there was to be two new planes in November and two in December. I haven’t heard that any new ones have been delivered lately. Has anyone heard anything? I would think it would be big news, especially with ORD to open soon.
Compass contract goes through January 2020 per a personal face to face with members of management awhile back. Compass signed a 5 year deal with AA. They began flying for AA beginning of 2015. And yes, 2 of the options have been delivered to Envoy and 2 more are coming this month. There are 10 more options that have been announced but we will not see those deliveries begin until late 2018.
