Has anyone said when those 175s will be on property? Early next year?

All hearsay at this point. Don't hold your breath

3rd e145 is on property this week and goes into revenue March 11.

I'd be willing to take a bet for the 170/175 program announcement end of second quarter this year with the behind the scenes work starting q1 2017 with aircraft on property by q4 2017.

By that time some of the smash 8s will be leaving us...

Sorta confirming that everything is hearsay at this point..

I'm not saying that it doesn't make sense and that it's not a strong possibility, I'm just saying there's nothing coming from a credible source to support this. I do hope you're right though

Where would you bet that those 175's are coming from?

I'll bet we don't care...new, used, I'll fly whatever... it's an airplane. You can believe it's in the master plan though.

Does it make financial sense to bring in a whole other fleet type to PDT, when they have that fleet already set up at another wholly owned (envoy)? Seems like a whole lotta money to get another program up and running, especially when they just finished setting up the 145. Perhaps a merger?

Im banging my head on the wall. 145's are a 5 year plan. 175's are the long term plan. No we will not merge. AA wants three w/o's. Why is this so hard for everyone to get?

Hahahah they have a history of doing what you are saying they won't do. Guess you have to just wait and see.

I don't mean to get you all upset. But you are saying these statements like they are fact. Is this what the company officially stated? Or is this your educated guess? I'm just asking questions, not trying to attack.
