GOOD news only comes in the form of pay raises and contract improvements. We already know they are accelerating the 175 program. We also know they are going to do the 90 options. Announcing we are getting the 175s that went to compass that was promised to American Eagle isn't good news. Or getting the 175s republic has parked is not good news. So I'm not holding my breath on this announcement.

It should be of no surprise that Envoy will get more E175's, but total fleet (and pilot) count WILL decline unless they can muster in 35-40 new-hires in every month consistently for 5+ years for F/O Bucket to have a chance at looking inside the AA chocolate factory.

From: Violin on the Envoy-tanic

According to AAG's announced fleet plan for this year, ENY's MEC says they are set to exceed scope limitations in the number of RJ's by the end of this year. Unless APA grants scope relief (which I doubt) there's no way those 90 options will ever be exercised. Embraer is also going to be transitioning to the E2 version, which has a MTOW outside scope limitations as well.

We might see some of the Compass and Republic planes come to Envoy to replace 140/145's, but won't see any of the options unless something drastic occurs.
