Now, having said that, there have been members of management here that have straight up said that AAG will in fact be transferring the 20 planes at Compass to Envoy. Personally, I won't believe it until I see it.
Take it for what it’s worth. RN said the end of the Compass contract is sometime early next year and roughly corresponds to the time when we finish taking our current new 175s. He said probably 80% likely to get the planes, but doesn’t necessarily mean we get LAX back.
Envoy getting those 20 planes back also correlates with what AAG has said about wanting to deal with fewer regionals and have them more significant in size. I believe Compass is the smallest contract AAG has. It also follows with Compass being exclusively a Delta Connection.
It’s not like they would come all at once. Compass probably got them about two a month and they would probably come off contract the same way so it wouldn’t be a big hit to either company.
But, all that makes way too much sense. I’m not holding my breath or losing any sleep over it.
