I can tell you in one word ONE of the reasons Envoy is going to be flying the CRJ's into the forseeable future. Aspen.

It's already been said here, PSA can't get their training program together and the experience level to fly into an airport like ASE sure isn't there.

Again with this? Did you skip over the entire page of me asking why you guys have such a hard on for Aspen? I understand that there's this mentality that somehow you guys are better than Virgin Galactic pilots and NASA is a lesser being for never choosing Eagle pilots to man the shuttle, but why are you guys so hung up on ONE destination? I don't care about the planes or anything else from you guys. I'm just amazed at this one hookup...

It's the same deal with these guys lol. They look for any little "Anti-PSA" propaganda that they can find and once they do they run with it like wild animals to the point where their wives consider taking their secret toy out of the box due to the lack of attention they get from their troll husbands

What's to stop AA from contracting with Skywest to fly a few CRJ 700s in and out of Aspen?

WOW, 150!!!!!!! I stand corrected!!! 148 was my guess and I don't even work there, but I guess I am out in left field aren't I. Well my goodness that is good news!!! 150 you must be proud!!! Now as for the DEC's I feel bad for those dudes, the second oil goes back up next year and they decide to sacrifice the 50 seaters in order to keep your 900's flying during the staffing crisis I am pretty sure that will trigger a displacement bid? And won't that be a shocker for those guys getting the boot back to the right seat. But well done, hiring 100 DEC's this summer was quite an accomplishment. Last real FO class was what, end of May. I think you are right on target with getting your 60 new pilots a month you need in order to keep those final 16 options coming you way.

Skywest is about the only regional carrier even remotely qualified to do this. I would call them ALMOST but not quite on par with Envoy. Besides Envoy and Skywest, I'm not getting in the back of any other regional's aircraft flying into ASE. Too risky.

We still have 61 more airplanes coming. Is there another airline with that many on the way? Why don't we offer incentives? We haven't needed to so far. Will we? It certainly is possible but not today.

My popcorn is popped and I'm ready to watch the airline have a staffing melt down sometime in the future. It might take several months, but it will happen. Right now it's calm before the storm. The attitude of not needing additional incentives to attract pilots proves how behind the power curve things are.
