88 717s. 36 more 90s I believe. 100 737-900s. Some will replace older planes. But getting 61% of the domestic flying means we will be adding jobs. Simple. You can be bitter. But you also chose to stay there. I made the choice to leave 11+ years ago. Furlough stung but I always knew as long as the airline survived I'd come back. The regionals have never offered that stability. As long as your core product is farmed out labor you will always be at risk of getting cut. The end game at the regionals is beginning. With luck, that means the majors will take their flying back. You can stew about your fate. Or you can study for an interview and take control of it. I can tell you everyday I'm thankful for the path I've been blessed enough to have.
