I think we'll also again see the transfer of envoy 700s slow to a point predicated on PSA's ability to staff them.
But that all seems to make sense,........ so obviously it won't happen.

However, AAG has made it widely known that they don't want Envoy operating different manufacturer types. Each regional operates one type.
And just to stir the pot, I've heard some wild rumors about PSA offering you Whiskey pilots some sort of first year pay commiserate with the pay scale you are at now if you come over to PSA. I have no clue how our union would deal with that one, but I have heard it.

Maybe it's the PSA 200's that have that -704 computer in them. I can't imagine them transferring a/c, especially as PDT is winding up its erj145 program. I guess maybe it's that we have the pilots right here, right now.

Maybe some 200s would be bought by AWAC after American pays them to operate more than 67 planes (new contract). Which I would certainly welcome as opposed to being at the mercy of AA anytime they want to move airplanes to the lowest bidder. But I digress..

I'm in awe of this forum. We have so many industry insiders with such wealth of knowledge. They push buttons, jerk throttles and get punked by management yet speak like they just walked out the board room with their pimp cane 😂
