The six most recent 175s that Republic just bought to fly for AAG we’re all set to come to ENY. AAG saw a way to save some cash during the pandemic and let RAH buy them. The six 170s from CityFlyer may have been a separate transactions but they were very much tied to each other in terms of what AAG is was to send ENY. The seventh 170 was not part of the CityFlyer deal.
I should’ve been more clear, apologies. That is all new AA operation flying for those regionals. The 16 YX 170s are transferring to AA ops from their DL ops, YX will still fly them. 1 or 2 of them are already flying, mostly at LGA.
I thought you were saying MQ took used 170s from YX for the new 175s, but that’s not the case and you touched on the CityFlyer deal.
