But if this many FTers are being confused by it, can you imagine what's going to happen when the Kettles become aware of the change!!! Oh the horror!!
Except how many Kettles are even aware of the existence of "Envoy" class right now?

Also, I didn't see it mentioned here, but I read this morning on the Dallas Morning News aviation blog that the "Envoy" name will be phased out as the name of the current US Airways business class product by March of this year. Link: http://aviationblog.dallasnews.com/2...f-travel.html/

Relevant excerpt: "Officially changing our company’s name to Envoy will take approximately three months, so we won’t officially begin using it until this spring,” American Eagle Airlines president and CEO Pedro Fabregas told employees in a message Tuesday.

“Between now and then, the use of the Envoy name for legacy US Airways’ international Business Class service will be phased out by the end of March 2014,” he said.
