That sounds like the wholly owneds plus Skywest and one other?
The quotes I found interesting were that PSA was going to have 150 airplanes, PDT around 50ish and Envoy growing to 200. That accounts for 2/3 of the 590 airplanes in AA's regional fleet. I think the last 1/3 will be accounted for by Skywest having 50 CR7, Mesa 64 CR9 and RPA having the 85 E175s. I think those 3 will be the final survivors of the non WO's for the foreseeable future.
Food for thought, if Envoy is really going to be at 200 airplanes in the next two years. That means PDT operates the 56 E145 they've been promised and all CR7s get transferred to PSA by next year that leaves Envoy with 180 airplanes at the end of 2019:
49 E140
62 E145
69 E175
I wonder where those last 20 airplanes will come from to get us to 200.
