RW’s Airline update indicates 41 145s in September and 35 in December although it does not indicate any of the new (to Envoy) 170s. Those 145s might start transferring to PDT in November and getting the 170s but the process of bringing used planes onto the certificate takes a while. They will need paint, probably interior and all the things to make them “Envoy’s planes” as well as conformance done. Usually even with the new 175s they haven’t been able to do more than a couple or three a month. PDT should be able to take the 145s faster but they are one third the size of Envoy. Those 15 aircraft represent a much larger percentage of what they can do, both with respect to maintenance and pilot and FA training to staff them.

During that time frame the 145 lines are projected to go from 138 in September to 59 in December. Most of that is the Dallas reduction but some of it is in ORD which is likely just seasonal fluctuations. DFW will be down to a handful of 145 lines in December, although the official “closing” of the 145 base hasn’t been announced. There will probably be more indications of what’s going on by the end of September bid.
