Envoy also gets the scraps when it comes to flying, as our none wholly owned brethren get first choice on the AA flights packet. Whats left is what we get. Lots of long sits.
3. Envoy non-rev is second to none in my opinion. Sure, AA like to oversell flights which can be a ***** and certain commutes like DFW-ORD can be horrendous, but generally it works pretty well. If you factor in international travel it gets even better.

As for LGA, I know we are starting to turns out of there on the 175 from ORD, so who knows what is going to happen. We have something like 20 more planes coming this year with very little guidance on where they will officially end up, so the rumor mill is churning at full speed. If you want to based in NYC, that won't be a problem at Envoy, just expect the 145.
