At TNA we go down!

It's renamed to be "Spread Eagle" Airlines.

How about:

Pinnacle
Chaparral
Simmons
Wings West
or Executive?

(did I miss one?)

Why change it? What's wrong with American Eagle? Pretty damn' cool name already if you ask me. "Envoy" Are you kidding me? These people need to start doing some serious focus group/market research - Gag!

AMERICAN EAGLE will still be painted in large letters on the side of the airplane.

'Operated by Envoy Airlines' will be painted in microscopic letters by the forward entry door -- just like Skywest, Republic, Expressjet, and Chautauqua who are now 'American Eagle' as well.

American Eagle is now a brand name. No different than United Express, Delta Connection, etc. Since everybody and their mother is now flying for American the real Eagle must change their name.

Even with that logic it isn't necessarily important to change the name, in fact it will cost the company money. No one buys a ticket on United Express, American Eagle, or Delta Connection. People buy their tickets on United, Delta, American. I don't really see what the "brand name" affects.

That name just sounds like a gay cruise ship or something. Terrible. Hope that rumor is false. Would be embarrassing to say I work for Envoy.

Ok, but Envoy? "a messenger or representative, esp. one on a diplomatic mission." Really?!?!

Can someone tell me when imagination left the world of business? This is just lazy. Whatever.

What a way to tarnish what once was the best Regional with the best group of professional pilots. Now it has become a Mickey Mouse brand. Myself can't wait for the new name to come out, I will proudly say that I work for Envoy or whatever Name we become.

This way at least we can separate from the sub par groups.

What a shame.
