88 is still super short as well. I've gotten several inverse assignment calls in the last couple of weeks, and was assinged a tag-on turn yesterday from a reserve trip because "we're out of people." Even the reserve captains are flying alot now!

On another note, in the chat with Steve (Ghorman, I think,) the other day, he talked about the rj fleet plan. He said still way too much 50 seat lift, and that the termination of contracts and natural lease expirations will drop 124 rj's through 2012 (plus 10 saabs) - and said "that may not be aggressive enough." Since they've hit the cap on the 70's and 76 seaters, I don't see any RJ growth for a lonnnng time - unless we cave on something, which alot of folks don't want to happen.

See all you ATL fellows at the meeting on the 23rd.
