It would be nice if we could staff the remaining 700s aaaaaaaaand take the 900s while dumping 200s 1:1.

Keep in mind, it isn't all about staffing these planes with pilots, we are hurting for FAs and Mechanics as well which is why you are seeing maintenance bases opening up to attract Mechanics.

Maybe hoping the E concourse at CLT will be done so we don't have to park 900s at E1.

2) Age 65 rule becomes 67 (possibly)
3) Repeal of the 1500 hour rule (unlikely to happen)
It's always been about kicking the can down the road as far as it will go.

I honestly wouldn’t say it’s the fault of anyone at PSA. They all receive their marching orders from Dallas.
They are given a budget and goals, the rest is up to management to make it happen. Their success and failure are all their own.

And your statement is not 100% factually correct (although it isn’t quite incorrect either). I’m not apologizing for anyone. Stating facts and apologizing for someone are very different things.

The point is management is a failure.
Envoy able to take 50+ E-175s AND bring 50+ E-140s out of the desert.
Piedmont able to take 60+ E-145s
Endeavor was able to take 30+ CRJ7/9 in less than a year.
TSA was able to spin up both AA and UA flying.
How many airplanes is Skywest bringing on? Republic?

Didn't know Piedmont has 60 plus jets, last I saw they were under 50 still on planning on only taking 56. They have issues with training as well.
Envoy already has the resources to run their equipment and take more considering they were a much larger regional in the first place.
TSA isn't a gold standard....
Endeavor, I have no argument here. They did what they had to do and it's paying dividends now.
