Not likely. A NY base isn't even rumored. Ultimately bases are determined where AAG needs feed of course. In the medium term, next 2 years, PSA will be taking over the flying Mesa is doing out of CLT. CLT is already a base so no new bases due to that. There are also the beaten equine 700's from Eagle moving to PSA which, for the short term at least, will likely stay on their current routes, for the most part. This would most likely mean the addition of a Dallas or Chicago base. I think Miami is eliminated due to a plan to move much of that flying to, IIRC, Republic (can anyone confirm or correct me on that?)

In the end, no one really knows yet, probably not even AAG and PSA management. The final decision will be made by the bean counters.

Unless you're already familiar with the aircraft, learning flows with no systems knowledge, no specific detail on what exactly you're doing, and no big cockpit poster to practice on is not very useful. Some of the flows only have 3-4 items on them but one item might have 4-6 sub steps of items to check, test, or do. Learn those limitations cold for day 1 and you'll be sufficiently ahead for indoc without learning anything wrong or developing bad habits.

Aren't the Envoy 700s based in NYC and ORD? If they are going to fly the same routes, wouldn't they possibly have the same bases? I didn't think Envoy had a Dallas 700 base.

While envoy doesn't have a crj DFW base, a lot of flights crj flights are through Dallas. I get the impression many ord crj lines start and end with deadheads to and from Dallas.

APC shows PSA will receive 30 CRJ 900's starting "2nd quarter of 2014 at a delivery rate of 2 aircraft per month".

Is this correct? I thought PSA was only 200/700 aircraft?

It is correct. PSA started receiving 900's a few months ago. Here is the fleet composition, expected growth, and delivery dates.

Any word on what new hire classes they are filling right now? Seems December 8th is the farthest class someone ha mentioned in the thread.
