Yes, they closed ORD and CLT, and PHX is shrinking. However, they OPENED DFW and IAH, and expanded IAD. Base closures are not an indication of how well or how poorly the company is doing. If they were closing bases and furloughing, that's a different story. Resources are being reallocated to other bases that are growing.
Fact is, they just got 30 new 175's, and new CRJ900's. And for a while, upgrades were happening at under 1 year with the company; most recently this month with a JAN 2015 hire.
LAX was always temporary. Rumors flew about a possible base, but that's what they were; rumors.

What was it like when you found out you were adopted and the skywest upgrade was 8 years all in the same day?

That was Wilson's projections.

BECAUSE THEY WILL ONLY BE TAKING FROM ENVOY!
Further proof that the flow at Envoy is not only working better than planned but a valuable tool.
On that note, RJ Pilot please don't be like eaglefly. I know you like to put on your troll hat sometimes...but when you are not busy being a troll you can be a good guy. When you put out stuff like this it sinks down into eaglefly and first class level and you don't want to go there.
Speaking of first class...this news must be killing him. AA only taking flows from Envoy while he and the rest at PSA have to wait 20+ years just to interview.
RJ pilot, Just be cool man. As you said, no more AA street hires for the rest of the year so that they can take strictly Envoy flows and recalls. But I think you already knew that.
