228 American Eagle aircraft are operated by non-wholly owned airlines. I believe only Compass's are owned by AAG so they could transfer those to Envoy if they really wanted to. That still leaves over 200 non-WO, non owned by AAG, 76 seat regional jets. You have to be delusional to think that AA would give up that much lift. Plus, once fuel prices rise again, the first planes to be parked will be the 50 seaters which only the wholly owns fly.
AA also owns some of the Skywest CRJ's. They are the only aircraft Skywest operates that they do not own.

Mesa's CRJ-900's are the oldest ever built. It's not unfathomable to see them replaced by new orders at PSA or 175's at Envoy.
