With the re-branding of the American Eagle name and the US Airways merger, the American Regional feed will be (and already is) changing significantly. Being a rather visual learner, I decided to group all the current regional carriers for AA and US Air in one spot along with the portion of their fleet allocated for AA/US Air flying. The results are interesting to look at, though, obviously, the information is readily available. This post is not meant to be a statement of any sort but, rather, simply a listing of the facts. Their may be some errors, as I'm sure I could have misplaced a number here or there and my sources may not be perfectly accurate.
That said, these are all the regional carriers which will soon be flying under the American Eagle brand.
Air Wisconsin:
Total American Eagle fleet size: 566 Aircraft
Percentage of flying done by Envoy: 40%
