That still leaves room for another 100 more of those larger RJs. I would expect some sort of announcement of those coming soon. Its why I think we are not furloughing, or else they are bracing for some kind of Exodus.
I do think AE will be getting some of the above, but will NOT be the primary feed provider, simply one of many. 100 CRJ's would take awhile at a max rate of 4/month. The training bubble alone would be 1500 pilots and were talking a couple of years. In the meantime, no need to shock the pilots with furloughs before a contract vote. I'm told AE is over staffed by 400 or so and this would seem to add another 250. Once PBS is implemented, then how may over staffed then ?
I may be wrong, so my advice is to short the stock again.
