And probably more as a few regionals consolidate in the coming years. To direct hate towards an airline that “stole” your flying that you never owned in the first place just shows you have no idea how the business world operates. There will be more Comairs. There will be more airlines that get the shaft like Envoy. And as Envoy will gladly tell you PSA will probably figure out how to screw us all once again. The day flying stops getting shifted around is the day regionals cease to exist, which I don’t think is ever going to happen.
As far as PSA taking over Envoy in DFW... that is not the rumor. The rumor is we may be merging with or taking Mesa’s flying. We both operate CRJs. We operate roughly 140 airplanes with almost 2000 pilots. Mesa operates almost 20 MORE airplanes with only 1200 pilots. Something is at play. Don’t worry. Envoy is completely safe in DFW. Especially with them undercutting the entire industry with their low wages. (Sarcasm with eye roll).
This is what I believe as well.
Over at Envoy we saw a blowup of lines increasing in DFW for the 175. That replaces Mesa’s 175 flying as well.
The 145 out of DFW are the guys that get affected. I’m on the 175, and with that said if PSA once again undercuts the pilot group then it will affect those guys. That is gonna be one view point.
On the other hand, we may not see an impact and PSA takes SKW and MESA flying, that’s an idea that I think is the most realistic as AA has been ON RECORD that they want to bring flying in house to have more profitable gains. So that’s what I believe PSA has business being in DFW
