Should be four this year I believe, two in November and two in December. Ric Wilson said some will be coming from DFW but then again our flight file was still up in the air when he was doing his crew room visits the other week.

AAG wanted to excercise all of the options, but at a discount from EMB. Emb has held strong to their pricing since they know of the large demand for their aircraft. AAG is now talking to Bombardier! Maybe trying to bluff EMB, or simply because Bombardier is willing to give away their aircraft due to the poor demand? Wouldn't be surprising to see more 900s operating for AAG in the near future. The envoy crj training department is in the process of hiring more ground/sim/checkairman and was just approved for the qualified upgrade program. Seems fishy for a fleet that is shrinking.

Well, I don't see PSA being able to take on more aircraft at the moment. They are struggling as it is with the CRJ-700 they are getting from us. Unless they retire the -200s. *Maybe* discussions with Bombardier are about the C-Series? It would make sense... Also, if AAG asks for an ORD base for the 175 it could mean more options on the way. Seems like they're trickling the options.
