Training department was told the remaning Crj's will be here till 2018 when and IF and that's a big IF they go anywhere. Crj training is currently filled with NHs. Only 35 planes so it's not a large training program.

I don't think the CRJ is going any where this year or they will have to put a displacement out. That would kill training. Unless they get the union to sign a Letter of agreement and work around it.

AAG just finishing building an additional hangar in Dayton, added on to the hangar in Charlotte, and rented another hangar/opened a new mx base, plus added a few dozen more mechanics at PSA for the additional 700's. I would be surprised if the 700's didn't start moving to PSA by March at the latest.

AAG is wasting about $15mil a year by keeping the CRJ's at two different airlines with duplicated training, maintenance, and operating costs.

All you need is some pilots and the plan will be complete.

Just incase you think the training department knows all, while in recurrent 3 years ago the CRJ fleet manager said compass will never be an option for the 175. We all know what happened after that.

I agree. There's no way they are keeping all the CRJ's until 2018. Look at the number of CRJ drivers flowing (both on the line and in the training department). Where are their replacements? I bet envoy is an all-Embraer operator by the end of 2017.

Yeah at the end they will merge the airlines.

No need for 3 CEOs, a lot of VPs and management for the regional flying.

The writing is on the wall. It will come down once they get done with the PP flow in about 3 yrs.

Maybe... March seems to be thrown around a lot as they special date. I am sure PSA wants to take more Envoy CRJs. Why you all are still happy about under cutting our CRJ pilots is beyond me. Taking planes for less pay and bragging about it is a major low blow for your pilot group.

They just awarded 16 OCCs on the most recent bid, plus about ten or more on the one in September. That's not a bad amount of upgrades for a 35 aircraft fleet.
