It's possible but I doubt it. I've been hearing this for a while as well. Any new 175 flying announced lately by AA immediately goes to Envoy. Only place I see it happening is where Envoy doesn't have a domicile (LAX/ PHX).

This was the first i had ever heard, and twice in one week made my ears stand up

I didnt think it would happen either since AA is scooping up every 700 that comes off contract with UA

I heard AA wanted us to do some 175 stuff out West but the contract wasn't as lucrative as the company would have liked and it is no longer on the cards. CP have a more competitive deal I believe, for that flying.

Envoys 175 fleet is growing by 40%. The CRJ is fleet is leaving but EMBs are being added from TransStates.
If there is going to be a shuffle/purchase of 175s it is pretty reasonable that Envoy isn't a sure thing.

When Skywest grew its 175 fleet by 40-50% in a short time frame we had to have massive reserves.

They are adding a 175 sim in Denver. Im sure if we weren’t getting more 175’s then they wouldn’t do that.. time will tell..

And then the controller gives you the freq two more times because they assume you aren't paying attention...

Eventually everything for Delta and United (and obviously Alaska) will be 175s I’m sure. What’s the life span on our 200s?

Earnings call coming up soon. If it’s a “done deal” we will hear it that call or very shortly after. I don’t believe it though.

200’s have 10 more years on most of them. 7/9’s. Lot more then that. Some are brand new... would count on DL or UA being all 175’s... 700’s for Aspen.. and 200’s a plenty flying for UA right now.. “eventually” is a maybe 20 year from now statement...
