Wouldn't introduction of -900's at Envoy require expending $$$ on manuals, training (even if only differences), computer changes for agents, specific parts for MTX and FAA approval, etc. ?

Seems to me that's a lot of hassle just to add a few seats in some Envoy markets, especially if Envoy is slated to get rid of CRJ's in the future. I suppose it's possible, but doesn't sound likely to me anyway.

I don't buy this rumor, but Since when do they care about wasting money at AA? They waste millions for no reason daily on all kinds of idiotic things. This would be no different if they wanted to do it.

They have an airline with crews current and qualified on the E145 at Envoy. Training, MX, Ops certifcate, trained pilots, everything in place already. So the moron Hashimoto decides its a good idea to waste millions transferring 145's to PDT, who doesn't even fly jets, having to start from scratch and start a whole new operation and program just to do it which is very expensive, time consuming and they don't even have the staffing to do it. Brilliant move. Don't you think that was a hassle?

This company does stupid things every day. I certainly wouldn't put it past them.

Hashi doesn't decide asset allocation among the Eagle network, AAG upper management does. They are doing what they're doing for a reason that is more long term. They've just run into some temporary (or so they believe) speed bumps as the ever changing abilities of each regional ebb and flow. That's why they are staying more fluid IMO, like not commiting Envoy back into MIA with at present enough flying to do so. They are being reactive to the present landscape and who knows why the next change is. I'll bet to some degree, even they don't know.

I have a feeling DP uses a magic 8 ball for strategic planning.

Makes sense with all the problems we have endured since bankruptcy.

Other then we enjoy making people on social media fear for their job with any picture they post if they work for PDT/PSA?

No idea.

He was on Tinder in full uniform, ID and all. With a sign pointing to his crotch with something about FAs written on it. How someone found that photo I have no idea.
