Congratulations, you guys get to join the ranks of the rest of us American Eagle operators with absolutely useless/terrible AA benefits. Don't expect much, because they absolutely suck.

The real question is who is going to absorb the next 40? Skywest probably has the best shot. Not sure if Wis will be cheap enough?
We are having a hard enough time staffing our current flying, I can't see how we possibly add more frames.

Its pretty simple. We park Brasilias. SkyWest would rather make money with 175s than 120s

Probably 2-1 swap out the existing US/AA agreement with modest addition of frames?

So you COULD care less? They were probably not the lowest bidder, but the only bidder with an acceptable time table to start up ops that quickly and be able to staff it.

I agree, they need to park the Bro's and 200's.... but they seem more inclined to add 200s then competitively bid for additional flying.

How do you Skywest boys always manage to talk about what additional flying you might get????!!!! Pretty sure the thread is about compass getting the new flying!

It should be about Envoy getting new flying.

At the end of the day, nobody is getting paid any more or any less. However, Compass still has no real assets.

Wow,

Compass looks like a pretty good place to go right now...

Maybe Eagle can get something done for the rest of them.
