If American decides they want envoy 175s in LGA it’ll happen. I doubt it’ll happen any time soon but that’s just the way the industry is moving.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but what I understand of CPAs, they don’t work that way (at will/swipe of a pen) unless there is specific language not being fulfilled, mostly having to do with operational issues—which operationally, YX is doing very well. Granted, Code Share partners can displace airframes/flying between city pairs, but the “ink” is indelible on the specifics in the CPA through the duration of the CPA. Same for UA.
