Great news. Not sure how this affects existing regional mix at LAX - the ERJ-175s will appear on routes currently using Mesa CRJ-900s.

Will these Compass planes have WiFi too? LAX-IAH is a long flight to be on with no connectivity.

While WiFi doesn't rank up there with the need for food, shelter, and clean water, for many people in-flight connectivity is no longer a luxury.

Compass (ERJ-175s) coming to LAX
In the last month flew both LAX>YVR and LAX>DEN...would be great to get the 175's. It was always surprising to me that both those +2.5 hour flights they were using the 900's

Compass will slowly be rolling out onto more LAX routes this spring, including Edmonton, Vancouver and San Antonio.

Do we know yet if these Compass planes will have catering equipment and adopting Envoy/Republic meal catering?

It is an American Eagle catering policy. So any American Eagle branded operation will be catered the exact same way... doesnt matter if its Mesa, Republic, Compass, Air Wisconsin, PSA, Piedmont, Chautauqua or Billy Bob's flying circus. If they are operating as American Eagle, they abide by the rules set forth by AA.

I do not know if the Compass planes have catering equipment but I would guess yes, because I think they were ordered by PMAA.

Encouraging news. I was under the impression that Parker was effectively doing away with Compass, due to labor issues, significant cost differential with Mesa and Republic.
