So, you agree with my other post. Envoy, Piedmont, and PSA will all merge into one new American Eagle brand.
If Envoy & Piedmont keep a few E145s for a few thin routes for intermediate years (till the few 16 year old aircraft time out), it would not justify them keeping any E145 sims in the their own shop. Why would you keep a sim you are only going to use 10 - 40 hours per week, total? It would be cheaper to rent time for training.
United has publicly stated they are going to get rid of most of their 50 seaters. They will keep a small number for EAS and a few others. I would see AA would follow suit.
