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.

Ya literally no one here care nor wants LGA so you can keep that one since I guess you all are the best at east coast flying or whatever

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.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but what I understand of CPAs, they don’t work that way (at will/swipe of a pen) unless there is specific language not being fulfilled, mostly having to do with operational issues—which operationally, YX is doing very well. Granted, Code Share partners can displace airframes/flying between city pairs, but the “ink” is indelible on the specifics in the CPA through the duration of the CPA. Same for UA.

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.

No one else wants to do it.

Thanks, I'll take all the NE flying that you don't want. Just don't cry into your bowl of cereal every time you lose flying because you don't want to be in the lucrative NE market.
