AA scope divides aircraft into small RJ and large RJ. Small RJ = 30-65 seats and large RJ = 66-76. The Expressjet 700s are configured with 70 seats and count as a large RJ.

I'll have what you're smoking.
I've been saying for several years that AA and Delta probably won't renew the CPA for Compass. AA used Compass to whipsaw Envoy into taking a concessionary contract and it worked. They got what they wanted from them and why would they keep the AA birds with Compass after the CPA runs out? Because Compass has good performance? Whatever... They can get good performance with Envoy too. It isn't rocket science running a regional especially a wholly owned that has the resources of AA.
Why would Delta renew the CPA? They're consolidating and Compass performance is awful. Look at how poor the maintenance planning is. How many times have you had a MEL drop dead during a turn? A week to fix a lateral adjustment on a seat and you wait till we're on a SFO quick turn to fix it? Wtf. How many times have you had a plane still at the hangar when you need it for the first flight and they tow it over late? It's a joke.
Look at what happened to ExpressJet. I know Skywest is evil and probably wanted all the flying to change to OO but still you can see the writing on the wall. I think Compass is safe till at least mid 2019 for the Delta flying because I don't think they could absorb the Compass flying along with dealing with the EV flying. My prediction is that the Compass birds go to either Endeavor or Republic or both and the flying will be split between OO and 9E.
I hope I'm wrong but I've been predicting this for a long time. I only wish good things for Compass.

My favorite is the "bad captain" bit. When changing FOs the leaving FO tells the incoming FO what a tool the captain is and makes up all these fake pet peeves the captain has
