Dear Envoy Team:

As our partner airline, American Airlines, continues on its path of integration with US Airways, it will continue to make business decisions that optimize its operations and enhance its global network.

To that end, American has informed us that it plans to transfer 47 of its Bombardier CRJ-700 aircraft from Envoy to PSA, beginning mid- 2015. While the exact dates and the rate at which these aircraft will transfer have not been determined, they anticipate that the transition of aircraft from Envoy will be completed by the end of 2016.

The removal of aircraft from our operation will allow Envoy and PSA to more efficiently focus operations on a single aircraft type – Embraer aircraft at Envoy and Bombardier aircraft at PSA. This change will simplify Envoy’s operation considerably and lower AAG’s overall costs, therefore enhancing profitability.

While it is too early to determine the exact impact that this change will have on Envoy and our people, we know that we will need to adjust staffing. For most groups, we believe that normal attrition will address much of these staffing changes. In some cases, there may be displacements from one location to another.

As I have said before, there is never a shortage of change in our industry. Envoy remains a very important partner to American, as we are the largest of its regional partners. But we will need to be efficient to remain its largest partner. I ask each of you to stay focused and continue to do what we do best – run a safe, reliable airline and provide outstanding service to all of our customers.

Thank you for all you do – for our customers and each other.

Hey hey, great news!!!! (Insert sarcasm)

Both ALPA carriers. Neat. I'm sure Moak is really concerned right now.

Pilot Scabbing Airline

Can't say it's a surprise. It was bound to happen regardless of the vote, as most everyone predicted... but still a kick in the goods, whether you saw it coming or not.

I'm embarrassed to be a PSA pilot

Street captains coming to PSA next year

No you're not, you're guaranteed to upgrade in less than 18 months while Envoy might furlough because they had the courage to stand up for what is right while PSA rolled over to "get theirs." Please don't cry crocodile tears over this, you're not fooling anyone. Enjoy the 2 year upgrade at Envoy's expense.

Will these be growth airplanes? Or replacements for the -200's?

If they bend over a tad more...growth. If not, replacements.
