Don't put it at all... go to Envoy if you live in FL. Quicker upgrade, MIA base, Flow, same equipment (not out of MIA though).

Since MIA is such a long haul away from being awarded..what's the next best option for us South Florida folks to commute to? LGA/EWR, or somewhere like ORD...

South Florida is a tough commute. Probably LGA, but it will be tough.

Depends on the airport you are commuting out of in south florida. my recommendation is go to passrider.com and plug in your airports look at how many flights per day. Usually you can only commute on one end, most commuters like to get home same day after a trip. So look at how late flights run back to get you home. From my experience south florida to EWR is an easy commute, LGA doesn't have as many options, but its doable.

But our 145 lines are supposed to nearly double by June/July according to an email we received earlier this year from the company. Not sure how that would impact you guys but I would doubt it does. Probably has more to do with us picking up the slack from the departure of Air Whiskey via fly through routes.

Envoy 175s will have EOW certification within the next couple of months and will be operating in MIA by late this summer.

awesome. I love facts. And, by the way, do they have the FAA/DOT routes certificates already approved for 2018???? How come AA got RAH's 2018 renewed? man, those AA bosses don't know what they're doing, Envoy must've not told them. LOL

Pretty simple certification to get, and AA should be able to expedite the process if they need you guys qualified. Republic did online training for the pilots initial for EOW. I believe FA had to complete some hands on training though. I’m sure this time next year you guys will be approved and flying routes.

Airplanes and pilots sure, but the entire airline has to go through a rigorous auditing process. No paperwork has been filed for Envoy.

It’s not that rigorous. Republic had issues because the POI at the time was a micro manager. Honestly a year is probably over estimating the timeline. A lot depends on how far along they are in the process now, but easily with 1 year. No idea what paperwork you’re talking about, but the routes are pretty much canned. isn’t Panam in 1950.

They use to fly the ATR EOW, so I would imagine they have some knowledge about the process. Many of the routes Republic does now, were ATR routes 10 years ago.

Just to be clear, Republic will still have a MIA base. Envoy will just start to also do some 175 flying there.
