Makes sense what you're saying though, even with keeping the 175, Envoy would just end up doing more of the low credit 145 flying with the 175, and mainline would take more of the longer high credit flying.
The other elephant in the room is if Envoy were to shrink, there is nothing to say that it would keep MIA as a base. NY flying came and went. It lasted as a base for what, four years this time around?
There are CURRENTLY rumors of RPA taking back the MIA flying. Can’t say that they are or aren’t accurate, for right now, but if Envoy lost the equivalent of all the 145 flying, I wouldn’t at all be surprised to lose MIA.
AAG likes to play shell games with its flying, which is why it keeps several WOs as well as contract regionals around.
If Envoy lost MIA as a base again, it would lose appeal for a large demographic of people, which would further hamper recruiting.
As I said, a shrinking airline is NEVER a good thing. Ask the guys at Compas, TSA and Express Jet.
