Don’t forget the LAX base opening. Well, PHX anyway. 120 pilots. Starting small with 12 lines in both May and June.
Is Envoy really opening an LAX base or is this more rumor?
I saw that announcement yesterday and my first thought was I wonder where they are reallocating E175s from. With Mesa’s 900s being gradually pulled out of the American system there is scope room. The Air Wisconsin CRJ 200s won’t directly replace them. Envoy must be doing well to be able to expand E175 flying while retraining E145 pilots.
