No...that's a 2017 thing at the earliest. This is something else.

Movement we have been told to expect.

It isn't happening until it happens.

Envoy looks like the place to be now. With over 300 flows a year to AA and soon to be rapid movement, I don't see a better regional out there. Things went south there a couple years ago with consessions and loss of aircraft, but now it looks like mainline is counting on them to be their number one feeder.

I have a feeling you guys are going to get MIA back and more flying returned to you.

There was no need for any of this to happen.

If that happens it will likely be a 175 base as well...

If new-hires alone won't cover the staffing needs, Envoy shrinks.

They won't bail anyway (at least laterally). A recent poll proved that barring a call from another legacy besides AA (flow) or LCC, they're in too deep there.

The present feeble new-hire numbers won't feed that engine and thus Envoy breaks down and coasts to the shoulder awaiting a tow truck, unless Envoy's drivers can successfully siphon someone else's gas (poaching) or a merger/acquisition occurs.
