The original American Eagle is gone brothers, give it up.



HERE ARE THE FACTS:



Daily LGA AA departures:



Jan 2020: 56

Jan 2019: 43

Jan 2018: 44

Jan 2017: 43

Looks to me like quite the OPPOSITE of losing flying.

If American decides they want envoy 175s in LGA it’ll happen. I doubt it’ll happen any time soon but that’s just the way the industry is moving.

It would force management to focus on something other than the northeast. And the whole “we’re in the northeast because we’re the best at it and that’s where our partners want us” is complete BS. It’s because it’s CHEAP. Management backed themselves in to a corner by opening massive maintenance hubs all within a couple hundred miles of each other. That’s why we can’t consistently expand west, it’s a nightmare logistically and RPA is too cheap to open a larger maintenance hub west of the Mississippi. Management runs this freaking multi-billion dollar airline like a mom and pop show.
