Compass is next on the chopping block with their 20 American owned E175s likely going to Envoy when their CPA expires. Who knows with Mesa and when their CPA expires.
I think Mesa has several different CPAs of varying length for the Eagle lift. They have one up for negotiation in 2019 and the remainder are spread out a few years behind that. But Mesa also owns many of their CRJ900s though I believe. American may only own a handful of them.
