Yeah, don't ask me. It's just a guess. I have no facts to back that theory up really.

That's a LOT of upgrades for both airframes. CRJ is around 2 years right now and ERJ is about 4. With the amount of people the Legacys needs, it should hang out around there for a few years....hopefully.....

Time will tell though.
I heard a lot of it was replacing RAH flying. But exactly... all speculation.

If you need Chicago I'd go with Skywest, it's our biggest base and not going anywhere where envoy is questionable.

It's gotten smaller and consequently more senior. Unofficially I believe it's closing with flying shifting to ORD so if you want IAH as a base I would consider somewhere else, not that mesa is the best choice.

IAH for some reason is hanging in there. They are doing what they can to keep it open and grow it again. ORD is for sure growing. Adding a new crewlounge, ect.. ORD is a good bet for a newhire that lives in that area.. most jr upgrade also. 2~ and falling..

I agree they will try keep it open it's a big draw for pilots that live in the south, we don't have another base near there.

I gree that they try to keep it open - mostly for option value if/when Mesa fails to deliver.

But not much of a draw if you cannot get in there....
