Or, they're overstaffed.
They'll get plenty of 88 crews over to the 717 even if guys don't AE into it. The 88 is the lowest airplane on the totem poll not being closed so just MD them to the 717, same effect.
Besides we add about 2 dozen pilots in ATL M88B next month. I think MSP MDed pilots off the 88 recently, maybe I am remembering that wrong. Flew with a CVG guy who can barely keep landing currency. I dont know, I just dont think they need as many pilots per plane as they used to.
