I know OKC is getting service this summer with the E175 to PHL.

Retired to the desert? Seems like a lot of money to stash. Wonder why they don’t sell I’m sure some carrier in another country would want them.

They’re retiring them because they don’t fit the fleet plan and also the engines are close to timed out.

I wouldn’t doubt if they’re sold outright at a later time.

I don't know the financials, if they're being sold or anything, but they are being phased out of AA's fleet in 2019.

That will be done by Republic. They are expanding their PHL AA flying this year.

What would you call it then? You already call the 175 a "baby 737"

Scope won’t allow them to come to regionals.

I wouldn't doubt that y'all get PHL. AA hasn't given us, PSA, any new flying since last fall. There is a growing rumor yalls 7s are staying or going to XJT. XJT just got awarded two new 7 routes out of CLT.

We cannot grow anymore CAs and our union said that AA is not happy with us at the moment.

Plus our Prez said that PSA doesn't do Hub bases beyond CLT. He's not really happy with DCA. So our next base will most likely be ORF or SAV.

If you read the AA 3Q SOTA Q&A, it clearly states Piedmont and PSA will be the predominant regionals out of PHL. I could see PSA getting a PHL base, but not Envoy. As for the 190s, it's all speculation at this point but I would expect AA to further increase both RAH and PSA 76 seat flying out of PHL.
