I was told that they will currently have 1/4 of their pilot group in training and the airline doesn't have the personel to move them up properly. Taking the RJ fo and making him a 170 capt is only one person. However going from RJ fo to RJ capt and 170 FO to 170 Capt is two people. While it sucks for those that are there the company is hiring like mad for a reason.
