I would just like to remind people that an article in a magazine quoting industry sources is NOT an official announcement.
We can all get excited about ATR600's cause the article said that too. I think it would be easier for us to get the 900 options turned into Dashes of some flavor. I don't think scope will allow for more than 23 more 900's or 175's. Plus we have such a low rate for a Q that I can't see the company not trying to get them on the property.
I want ATL and more new aircraft to be true, but until the merger is approved NOTHING is certain. I wouldn't be surprised if NWA were setting us up like Comair.
I do believe we are getting more flying for the current aircraft, which is great cause I hate RR.
Advice: Just count on at least 150 more pilots (200 or 250 minus the ones currently in the pipeline) and count on more flying. Thats it.
