Envoy isn't adding any more 175's.
AA isn't spending a dime on new or used airplanes, that includes for their WO regionals. It adds to their already problematic debt load. The only growth will be by contract regionals that finance their own airplanes; Skywest, Republic and Mesa.
Financially, the wholly owned carriers are going down with the AAG ship.
