An expanding airline means quicker seniority progression and is good recruiting fodder. Reading the RPA forum even they doubt this will happen and have the same doubts.
All this being said, I don’t doubt for a second that AAG would turn over flying in a second to RPA or anyone else that has or will buy the planes and can staff them (or claim to be able to do so). They have shown they don’t want spend money buying regional planes.
Just don’t think it has happened for these particular planes… yet.
