Wexford went chp 11 and restructured to buy Via in hopes of gaining their certificates operational status again...
Looks like they only owned one e145 and dry leased a couple other 120/145.
I hardly think they’re poised to picking up new CPAs since United has clearly signed the death certificate for the 145.
Anyone picking up new flying would most likely have owned airframes, an excess of trained and current pilots, a nationwide maintenance system, and cash in the bank....
not many fit that description.
Doesn’t look to me like AA is in a position to bargain on something like sterling.
Yes, because there is such a shortage of E145 around to be leased on the drop of a hat.... all they need is one airframe in operation to get all programs and certificates approved. Further, without tying themselves down with owned aircraft (like Air Wiskey) they can fly whatever the CPA partner wants them to lease. I'd keep an eye on this one. They could go in a completely different direction and focus on the charter business, but the rumblings indicate CPA-FFD work. Especially with bringing Heller on board.
