I believe that the thought is that XNA is a maintenance base for Envoy's 700's. When the 700's leave Envoy, they will likely lose their jobs. The employees that work in maintenance are employees of Envoy, which sort of makes them employees of AAG in the grand scheme of things (not really, but that is the argument). They can keep their jobs when the 700's leave by just collecting a paycheck from a different WO'd if PSA makes it a maintenance base.

It would be an easy transition. They will still work on the same airplanes, in the same hangar, for the same pay and benefits...just with a paycheck from a different company.

Personally, I don't believe it.

XNA doesn't have enough daily flights to work as a crew base. MX base, maybe. Crew base, no way.

I could not agree more. Half of each flight would be nothing but DH crews. It would make no sense at all.

If it makes no sense at all, then that is probably your answer .....

I was thinking the same thing.

On the bright side, I can go and TDY in XNA and spend some quality time at JJ's.

Well I know PSA is in talks to takeover XNA as a new PSA Mx base. And if history tells us anything, PSA loves Mx/Crew bases together. I'm just drawing the line based on what they have done in the past. I hope it isn't XNA for a number of reasons. I would like to see ORD, STL, or even MSP over XNA.

If they really loved the mx/crew base combos, TYS would be a MX base and CAK a crew base. CVG has both because the hangar is the largest out of any MX base and is has more daily flights than just about any other non-hub city served by American.

XNA is also an Envoy 175 maintenance base. Their jobs are not going away anytime soon.

It all depends on how much traffic Envoy will have to XNA once the 700's are gone. If it makes financial sense to keep 175's going there for maintenance, then yes, it is likely that AAG will continue using XNA as a maintenance base for the 175's. If it not cost effective, it will not.

AAG is all about the money. Period.
