While I agree something doesn't add up entirely here, despite the hiring spree we still find ourselves short staffed on some days. Red flag has been up 2 or 3 times in the past month or so. I really don't think XJT will be seeing those Q's at all. Besides, why would they hire and train 700 pilots for the ERJ, only to have to retrain a large chunk of them shortly afterwards for the Q? $$$
