if MES gets 15 RJ's this year, that equates to 75 crews. you have at least 250 people left. The first new hire class starts April 23, so they won't be ready until June. in 7 months to lose 250 pilots seems excessive (35+ a month)

Maybe they'll just run more routes or more crews. Hey if the 900 picks up some slack for the DC-9, that'd make sense.
