I would at least let Envoy send those aircraft through deconformity before you start calling them "yours". A lot can happen between now and when the first one is scheduled to arrive there.

No idea how they're going to staff any more airplanes. Depending on the day of the week, RSV coverage goes down to almost nothing now...

Mike, out of curiosity, do you wear a Blue shirt or a Red shirt? Or if it's neither, then disregard this
Red shirt.... Familiar with the company?

PSA can keep their 200's and the paint. I want money! $45/hr for a rj f/o still isn't close to what we should make.

If AWAC gets new planes, and that's a big IF.. they will have no trouble what so ever staffing them since it's the highest paid regional with best quality of life for both FO's and CA's... I dunno about the FA's tho

The only way that will happen is if we
sell them to you.I'm not sure how many
we own and the rest are long term leases

Did envoy sell their 145s to expressjet or TSA?

You don't own the jets, AAG does- and they can have whoever they want fly them.

PSA like PDT doesn't own any planes. Almost all of PDT's Dash 8's are owned but not by PDT. AAG can do what they want with the planes.

I highly doubt the PSA's 200's will be transferred to AWAC because of how cheap PSA is to operate and the fact they're getting 50 people a month. Every airlines has some issues with staffing but with the quick upgrades PSA isn't having a hard time getting people.

Exactly. Which is how AAG can move the -700s from Envoy to PSA, and 145s from Envoy to PDT. That's how they could conceivably move 175s (4xx tail numbers) from Republic to, say, Envoy (but not 100 or 800 tails). Same as how DAL could move planes between their DCI carriers, etc.

As I said, it's just a rumor. Believe nothing until after it has happened
