they have no confirmation of anything, and will be talking to the company about it in the upcoming week. fwiw, prater was in the teleconference too, so i don't know what kind of plan they are coming up with. probably nothing effective considering the nmb is still 2 rep vs. 1 dem til our pres elect is pres. even if we were to get released when that happens there is a 30 day cooling off period. by the time all that happens, ts could be gone and it could be all gj.

another thought is they don't screw us (unlikely) and combine the two and phase out the emb's and get crj's to have the common type fleet. just my opinion. or they may just be keeping their options open. who knows, its impossible to predict this place.
